[7:20]  ¹ tn Heb “in that day” (so ASV, NASB); KJV “In the same day.”

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “the river” (so KJV); NASB “the Euphrates.” The name of the river has been supplied in the present translation for clarity.

[7:20]  ³ tn Heb “the hair of the feet.” The translation assumes that the word “feet” is used here as a euphemism for the genitals. See BDB 920 s.v. רֶגֶל.

[15:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[15:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”

[15:2]  ⁷ sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.

[60:14]  ⁷ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
