[8:30]  6 tn Heb “received.”

[32:9]  7 tn Heb “I weighed out the money [more literally, “silver”] for him, seventeen shekels of silver.”

[11:12]  8 sn The speaker (Zechariah) represents the Lord, who here is asking what his service as faithful shepherd has been worth in the opinion of his people Israel.

[11:12]  9 sn If taken at face value, thirty pieces (shekels) of silver was worth about two and a half years’ wages for a common laborer. The Code of Hammurabi prescribes a monthly wage for a laborer of one shekel. If this were the case in Israel, 30 shekels would be the wages for 2 1/2 years (R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, pp. 76, 204-5). For other examples of “thirty shekels” as a conventional payment, see K. Luke, “The Thirty Pieces of Silver (Zech. 11:12f.), Ind TS 19 (1982): 26-30. Luke, on the basis of Sumerian analogues, suggests that “thirty” came to be a term meaning anything of little or no value (p. 30). In this he follows Erica Reiner, “Thirty Pieces of Silver,” in Essays in Memory of E. A. Speiser, AOS 53, ed. William W. Hallo (New Haven, Conn.: American Oriental Society, 1968), 186-90. Though the 30 shekels elsewhere in the OT may well be taken literally, the context of Zech. 11:12 may indeed support Reiner and Luke in seeing it as a pittance here, not worth considering (cf. Exod 21:32; Lev 27:4; Matt 26:15).

[7:12]  10 tn Grk “Therefore in.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[7:12]  11 tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo"), referring to both males and females.

[7:12]  12 sn Jesus’ teaching as reflected in the phrase treat others as you would want them to treat you, known generally as the Golden Rule, is not completely unique in the ancient world, but here it is stated in its most emphatic, selfless form.

[7:12]  13 tn Grk “is.”

[4:8]  14 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

[4:1]  15 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.
