39:37 the pure ²³  lampstand, its lamps, with the lamps set in order, and all its accessories, and oil for the light; 39:38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

[10:11]  ¹ tn Heb “not thus.”

[10:11]  ² tn The word is הַגְּבָרִים (haggÿvarim, “the strong men”), a word different from the more general one that Pharaoh’s servants used (v. 7). Pharaoh appears to be conceding, but he is holding hostages. The word “only” has been supplied in the translation to indicate this.

[10:11]  ³ tn The suffix on the sign of the accusative refers in a general sense to the idea contained in the preceding clause (see GKC 440-41 §135.p).

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “you are seeking.”

[10:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (Moses and Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:11]  ⁶ tn The verb is the Piel preterite, third person masculine singular, meaning “and he drove them out.” But “Pharaoh” cannot be the subject of the sentence, for “Pharaoh” is the object of the preposition. The subject is not specified, and so the verb can be treated as passive.

[20:18]  ⁷ tn The participle is used here for durative action in the past time (GKC 359 §116.o).

[20:18]  ⁸ tn The verb “to see” (רָאָה, ra’ah) refers to seeing with all the senses, or perceiving. W. C. Kaiser suggests that this is an example of the figure of speech called zeugma because the verb “saw” yokes together two objects, one that suits the verb and the other that does not. So, the verb “heard” is inserted here to clarify (“Exodus,” EBC 2:427).

[20:18]  ⁹ tn The verb “saw” is supplied here because it is expected in English (see the previous note on “heard”).

[20:18]  ¹⁰ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated as a temporal clause to the following clause, which receives the prominence.

[20:18]  ¹¹ tn The meaning of נוּעַ (nua’) is “to shake, sway to and fro” in fear. Compare Isa 7:2 – “and his heart shook…as the trees of the forest shake with the wind.”

[20:18]  ¹² tn Heb “and they stood from/at a distance.”

[29:44]  ¹³ tn This verse affirms the same point as the last, but now with an active verb: “I will set apart as holy” (or “I will sanctify”). This verse, then, probably introduces the conclusion of the chapter: “So I will….”

[30:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “roof.”

[30:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “its walls around.”

[30:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “and make for it border gold around.” The verb is a consecutive perfect. See Exod 25:11, where the ark also has such a molding.

[31:7]  ²⁵ tn Heb “all the vessels of the tent.”

[35:25]  ³¹ tn Heb “wisdom of heart,” which means that they were skilled and could make all the right choices about the work.

[37:26]  ³⁷ tn Heb “roof.”

[37:26]  ³⁸ tn Heb “its walls around.”

[37:26]  ³⁹ tn Heb “and he made for it border gold around.”

[38:31]  ⁴³ sn The bronze altar is the altar for the burnt offering; the large bronze basin is not included here in the list.

[39:37]  ⁴⁹ tn Possibly meaning “pure gold lampstand.”
