[1:13]  1 tn Heb “a blown upon [= heated; boiling] pot and its face from the face of the north [= it is facing away from the north].”

[2:10]  1 tn Heb “For go west.”

[2:10]  2 tn Heb “pass over to the coasts of Kittim.” The words “west across the sea” in this line and “east of” in the next are implicit in the text and are supplied in the translation to give geographical orientation.

[2:10]  3 sn Kedar is the home of the Bedouin tribes in the Syro-Arabian desert. See Gen 25:18 and Jer 49:38. See also the previous note for the significance of the reference here.

[20:12]  1 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

[20:12]  2 tn HebLord of armies, the one who tests the righteous, who sees kidneys and heart.” The sentence has been broken up to avoid a long and complex English sentence. The translation is more in keeping with contemporary English style.

[30:6]  1 tn Heb “Ask and see/consider.”

[30:6]  2 tn Heb “with their hands on their loins.” The word rendered “loins” refers to the area between the ribs and the thighs.
