[24:12]  1 tn Heb “make it happen before me today.” Although a number of English translations understand this as a request for success in the task (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV) it is more likely that the servant is requesting an omen or sign from God (v. 14).

[24:12]  2 tn Heb “act in loyal love with” or “show kindness to.”

[24:31]  3 tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:31]  4 sn Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.

[24:31]  5 tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.

[39:3]  6 tn The Hebrew text adds “in his hand,” a phrase not included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:21]  7 tn Heb “a straight way.”

[1:11]  8 tn The interjection אָנָּא (’anna’) is an emphatic term of entreaty: “please!” (BDB 58 s.v.; HALOT 69-70 s.v.). This term is normally reserved for pleas for mercy from God in life-and-death situations (2 Kgs 20:3 = Isa 38:3; Pss 116:4; 118:25; Jonah 1:14; 4:2) and for forgiveness of heinous sins that would result or have resulted in severe judgment from God (Exod 32:31; Dan 9:4; Neh 1:5, 11).

[1:11]  9 tn Heb “let your ear be attentive.”

[1:11]  10 tn Heb “fear.”

[1:11]  11 tn Heb “grant compassion.” The words “to me” are supplied in the translation for the sake of smoothness and style in English.

[1:11]  12 tn The vav (ו) on וַאֲנִי (vaani, “Now, I”) introduces a disjunctive parenthetical clause that provides background information to the reader.

[37:5]  13 tn Heb “roll your way upon the Lord.” The noun “way” may refer here to one’s activities or course of life.

[37:5]  14 tn Heb “he will act.” Verse 6 explains what is meant; the Lord will vindicate those who trust in him.

[90:17]  15 tn Heb “and may the delight of the Master, our God, be on us.” The Hebrew term נֹעַם (noam, “delight”) is used in Ps 27:4 of the Lord’s “beauty,” but here it seems to refer to his favor (see BDB 653 s.v.) or kindness (HALOT 706 s.v.).

[90:17]  16 tn Heb “and the work of our hands establish over us, and the work of our hands, establish it.”

[1:10]  17 tn Grk “remember you, always asking.”

[1:10]  18 tn Grk “succeed in coming to you in the will of God.”
