[2:9] 1 tn Heb “I will return and I will take.” The two verbs joined with vav conjunction form a verbal hendiadys in which the first verb functions adverbially and the second retains its full verbal sense (GKC 386-87 §120.d, h): אָשׁוּב וְלָקַחְתִּי (’ashuv vÿlaqakhti) means “I will take back.”
[2:9] 2 tn Heb “in its time” (so NAB, NRSV).
[2:9] 3 tn Heb “in its season” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV).
[2:9] 4 tn The words “which I had provided” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons; cf. NIV “intended to cover.”
[2:9] 5 tn Heb “to cover her nakedness” (so KJV and many other English versions); TEV “for clothing.”
