[5:30]  1 tn Or “in that day” (KJV).

[5:30]  2 tn Heb “over it”; the referent (the prey) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:30]  3 tn Heb “like the growling of the sea.”

[5:30]  4 tn Heb “and one will gaze toward the land, and look, darkness of distress, and light will grow dark by its [the land’s?] clouds.”

[34:4]  5 tc Heb “and all the host of heaven will rot.” The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa inserts “and the valleys will be split open,” but this reading may be influenced by Mic 1:4. On the other hand, the statement, if original, could have been omitted by homoioarcton, a scribe’s eye jumping from the conjunction prefixed to “the valleys” to the conjunction prefixed to the verb “rot.”

[34:4]  6 tn Heb “like the withering of a leaf from a vine, and like the withering from a fig tree.”

[2:30]  7 tn Or “in the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[2:31]  8 tn Heb “to blood,” but no doubt this is intended to indicate by metonymy the color of blood rather than the substance itself. The blood red color suggests a visual impression here – something that could be caused by fires, volcanic dust, sandstorms, or other atmospheric phenomena.

[27:45]  9 tn Grk “from the sixth hour to the ninth hour.”

[27:45]  10 sn This imagery has parallels to the Day of the Lord: Joel 2:10; Amos 8:9; Zeph 1:15.

[15:33]  11 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[15:33]  12 tn Grk “When the sixth hour had come.”

[15:33]  13 sn This imagery has parallels to the Day of the Lord: Joel 2:10; Amos 8:9; Zeph 1:15.

[15:33]  14 tn Grk “until the ninth hour.”

[23:44]  15 tn Grk “And it was.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[23:44]  16 tn Grk “the sixth hour.”

[23:44]  17 tn Grk “until the ninth hour.”

[6:12]  18 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[6:12]  19 tn Or “powerful”; Grk “a great.”

[6:12]  20 tn Or “like hairy sackcloth” (L&N 8.13).

[6:12]  21 tn Grk “like blood,” understanding αἷμα (aima) as a blood-red color rather than actual blood (L&N 8.64).
