[9:8]  1 tn Heb “Going they went, the trees.” The precise emphatic force of the infinitive absolute (“Going”) is not entirely clear. Perhaps here it indicates determination, as in Gen 31:30, where one might translate, “You have insisted on going away.”

[9:8]  2 tn Heb “to anoint [with oil] over them a king.”

[9:8]  3 tn Or “Rule over us!”

[2:17]  4 tn Or “did not listen to.”

[2:17]  5 tn Or “bowed before.”

[2:17]  6 tn Or “way [of life].”

[2:17]  7 tn Or “fathers.”

[2:17]  8 tn Heb “…walked, obeying the Lord’s commands. They did not do this.”
