[23:31]  ¹ tn The form is a perfect tense with vav consecutive.

[23:31]  ² tn In the Hebrew Bible “the River” usually refers to the Euphrates (cf. NASB, NCV, NRSV, TEV, CEV, NLT). There is some thought that it refers to a river Nahr el Kebir between Lebanon and Syria. See further W. C. Kaiser, Jr., “Exodus,” EBC 2:447; and G. W. Buchanan, The Consequences of the Covenant (NovTSup), 91-100.

[12:20]  ³ tn Heb “for my soul desires to eat meat.”

[12:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to all the desire of your soul you may eat meat.”

[19:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “he said to give to your ancestors.” The pronoun has been used in the translation instead for stylistic reasons.

[19:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[4:10]  ⁸ tn The text begins with “(the) day (in) which.” In the Hebrew text v. 10 is subordinate to v. 11, but for stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 10 as an independent clause, necessitating the omission of the subordinating temporal phrase at the beginning of the verse.

[4:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 4:3.

[4:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “my words.” See v. 13; in Hebrew the “ten commandments” are the “ten words.”
