[22:4]  1 tn The construction uses a Niphal infinitive absolute and a Niphal imperfect: if it should indeed be found. Gesenius says that in such conditional clauses the infinitive absolute has less emphasis, but instead emphasizes the condition on which some consequence depends (see GKC 342-43 §113.o).

[22:4]  2 tn Heb “in his hand.”

[22:4]  3 sn He must pay back one for what he took, and then one for the penalty – his loss as he was inflicting a loss on someone else.
