[3:10]  1 tn Heb “and he said.”

[3:10]  2 tn Heb “your sound.” If one sees a storm theophany here (see the note on the word “time” in v. 8), then one could translate, “your powerful voice.”

[18:15]  3 tn Heb “And he said, ‘No, but you did laugh.’” The referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[42:18]  5 tn Heb “Do this.”

[50:19]  7 tn Heb “For am I.”
