[22:21]  1 tn Or “oppress.”

[22:21]  2 tn Or “alien,” both here and in 23:9. This individual is a resident foreigner; he lives in the land but, aside from provisions such as this, might easily be without legal rights.

[23:9]  3 tn The verb means “to crush.” S. R. Driver notes that in this context this would probably mean with an unfair judgment in the courts (Exodus, 239).

[23:9]  4 tn Heb “soul, life” – “you know what it feels like.”

[10:18]  5 tn Or “who executes justice for” (so NAB, NRSV); NLT “gives justice to.”

[24:14]  6 tn Heb “your brothers,” but not limited only to actual siblings; cf. NASB “your (+ own NAB) countrymen.”

[24:14]  7 tn Heb “who are in your land in your gates.” The word “living” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[3:5]  8 tn The first person pronoun (a reference to the Lord) indicates that the Lord himself now speaks (see also v. 1). The prophet speaks in vv. 2-4 (see also 2:17).

[3:5]  9 tn Heb “those who swear [oaths] falsely.” Cf. NIV “perjurers”; TEV “those who give false testimony”; NLT “liars.”

[3:5]  10 tn Heb “and against the oppressors of the worker for a wage, [the] widow and orphan.”

[3:5]  11 tn Heb “those who turn aside.”

[3:5]  12 tn Or “resident foreigner”; NIV “aliens”; NRSV “the alien.”
