[24:15]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “in the lights,” interpreted by some to mean “in the region of light,” referring to the east. Some scholars have suggested the emendation of בָּאֻרִים (ba’urim) to בְּאִיֵּי הַיָּם (bÿ’iyyey hayyam, “along the seacoasts”), a phrase that is repeated in the next line. In this case, the two lines form synonymous parallelism. If one retains the MT reading (as above), “in the east” and “along the seacoasts” depict the two ends of the earth to refer to all the earth (as a merism).

[24:15]  ² tn The word “extol” is supplied in the translation; the verb in the first line does double duty in the parallelism.

[24:15]  ³ tn Heb “name,” which here stands for God’s reputation achieved by his mighty deeds.

[26:8]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has, “yes, the way of your judgments.” The translation assumes that “way” is related to the verb “we wait” as an adverbial accusative (“in the way of your judgments we wait”). מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ (mishpatekha, “your judgments”) could refer to the Lord’s commandments, in which case one might translate, “as we obey your commands.” However, in verse 9 the same form refers to divine acts of judgment on evildoers.

[26:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “your name and your remembrance [is] the desire of [our?] being.”

[45:4]  ⁷ tn Or “know” (NCV, NRSV, TEV, NLT); NIV “acknowledge.”

[48:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they call themselves [or “are called”] from the holy city.” The precise meaning of the statement is uncertain. The Niphal of קָרָא (qara’) is combined with the preposition מִן (min) only here. When the Qal of קָרָא is used with מִן, the preposition often indicates the place from which one is summoned (see 46:11). So one could translate, “from the holy city they are summoned,” meaning that they reside there.

[48:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lean on” (so NASB, NRSV); NAB, NIV “rely on.”

[48:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “for the sake of my name” (so NAB, NASB); NLT “for my own sake.”

[48:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and my praise.” לְמַעַן (lÿma’an, “for the sake of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[48:9]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “I restrain [myself] concerning you not to cut you off.”

[48:19]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “like sand”; NCV “as many as the grains of sand.”

[48:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and the issue from your inner parts.”

[48:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and his name would not be cut off and would not be destroyed from before me.”

[52:6]  ¹⁹ tn The verb is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[52:6]  ²⁰ tn Heb “in that day” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[63:12]  ²² tn Heb “who caused to go at the right hand of Moses the arm of his splendor.”

[63:12]  ²³ tn Heb “making for himself a lasting name.”

[63:19]  ²⁵ tn Heb “we were from antiquity” (see v. 16). The collocation עוֹלָם + מִן + הָיָה (hayah + min + ’olam) occurs only here.

[63:19]  ²⁶ tn Heb “you did not rule them, your name was not called over them.” The expression “the name is called over” indicates ownership; see the note at 4:1. As these two lines stand they are very difficult to interpret. They appear to be stating that the adversaries just mentioned in v. 18 have not been subject to the Lord’s rule in the past, perhaps explaining why they could commit the atrocity described in v. 18b.
