[8:5]  ¹ tn Heb “just as a man disciplines his son.” The Hebrew text reflects the patriarchal idiom of the culture.

[22:23]  ² tn Heb “finds.”

[22:23]  ³ tn Heb “lies with.”

[22:28]  ³ tn Heb “lies with.”

[23:15]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “from his master,” but this would be redundant in English style.

[23:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “gates.”

[27:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “lies with any animal” (so NASB, NRSV). “To lie with” is a Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations with someone (or in this case, some animal).

[29:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “for you to pass on into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oath, which the Lord your God is cutting with you today.”

[29:17]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew term שִׁקּוּץ (shiquts) refers to anything out of keeping with the nature and character of Yahweh and therefore to be avoided by his people Israel. It is commonly used with or as a synonym for תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “detestable, abhorrent”; 2 Kgs 23:13; Jer 16:18; Ezek 5:11; 7:20; 11:18, 21; see note on the term “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25). See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:243-46.

[29:17]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text includes “which were with them.” Verses 16-17 constitute a parenthetical comment.
