39:12 Hear my prayer, O Lord!

Listen to my cry for help!

I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were. ⁸ 

Hebrews 11:9

[20:1]  ¹ tn Or “the South [country]”; Heb “the land of the Negev.”

[20:1]  ² tn Heb “and he sojourned.”

[20:1]  ³ tn Or “the South [country]”; Heb “the land of the Negev.”

[20:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he sojourned.”

[29:15]  ⁵ tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.

[29:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.

[39:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “do not be deaf to my tears.”

[39:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “For a resident alien [am] I with you, a sojourner like all my fathers.”

[11:9]  ⁹ tn Or “settled as a resident alien.”

[11:9]  ¹⁰ tn Or “heirs with him.”

[11:13]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ¹² tn Or “sojourners.”

[2:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “are all from one.”

[2:11]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “for which reason.”

[2:11]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.
