[2:5]  ¹ tn Heb “house,” referring to the family line or descendants (likewise in v. 6).

[2:5]  ² tn Heb “let’s walk in the light of the Lord.” In this context, which speaks of the Lord’s instruction and commands, the “light of the Lord” refers to his moral standards by which he seeks to guide his people. One could paraphrase, “let’s obey the Lord’s commands.”

[13:7]  ³ tn Heb “drop”; KJV “be faint”; ASV “be feeble”; NAB “fall helpless.”

[13:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “melts” (so NAB).

[23:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “ships of Tarshish.” See the note at v. 1.

[43:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “the former things” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “forget all that.”
