[14:20]  ¹ tn Heb “you will not be united with them in burial” (so NASB).

[30:8]  ² tn The referent of the third feminine singular pronominal suffix is uncertain. Perhaps it refers to the preceding message, which accuses the people of rejecting the Lord’s help in favor of an alliance with Egypt.

[30:8]  ³ tn Heb “with them.” On the use of the preposition here, see BDB 86 s.v. II אֵת.

[30:8]  ⁴ sn Recording the message will enable the prophet to use it in the future as evidence that God warned his people of impending judgment and clearly spelled out the nation’s guilt. An official record of the message will also serve as proof of the prophet’s authority as God’s spokesman.

[41:23]  ³ tn Heb “Declare the coming things, with respect to the end.”

[41:23]  ⁴ tc The translation assumes the Qere (וְנִרְאֶה [vÿnir’eh], from יָרֵא [yare’], “be afraid”).

[57:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “Are you not children of rebellion, offspring of a lie?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “Of course you are!”

[65:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they will not give birth to horror.”

[65:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “for offspring blessed by the Lord they [will be], and their descendants along with them.”
