[15:17]  1 tn The verb is imperfect.

[15:17]  2 sn The “mountain” and the “place” would be wherever Yahweh met with his people. It here refers to Canaan, the land promised to the patriarchs.

[15:17]  3 tn The verb is perfect tense, referring to Yahweh’s previous choice of the holy place.

[27:8]  4 tn The verb is used impersonally; it reads “just as he showed you.” This form then can be made a passive in the translation.

[27:8]  5 tn Heb “thus they will make.” Here too it could be given a passive translation since the subject is not expressed. But “they” would normally refer to the people who will be making this and so can be retained in the translation.
