[20:11]  1 tn “Bones” is often used metonymically for the whole person, the bones being the framework, meaning everything inside, as well as the body itself.

[20:11]  2 sn This line means that he dies prematurely – at the height of his youthful vigor.

[25:7]  3 tn Heb “do not remember,” with the intention of punishing.

[25:7]  4 sn That is, the sins characteristic of youths, who lack moral discretion and wisdom.

[25:7]  5 tn Heb “according to your faithfulness, remember me, you, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.”

[5:11]  6 tn Heb “at your end.”

[5:11]  7 tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav consecutive; it is equal to a specific future within this context.

[5:11]  8 tn Heb “in the finishing of your flesh and your body.” The construction uses the Qal infinitive construct of כָּלָה (calah) in a temporal clause; the verb means “be complete, at an end, finished, spent.”

[5:13]  9 tn The vav that introduces this clause functions in an explanatory sense.

[5:13]  10 tn The Hebrew term מוֹרַי (moray) is the nominal form based on the Hiphil plural participle with a suffix, from the root יָרָה (yarah). The verb is “to teach,” the common noun is “instruction, law [torah],” and this participle form is teacher (“my teachers”).

[5:13]  11 sn The idioms are vivid: This expression is “incline the ear”; earlier in the first line is “listen to the voice,” meaning “obey.” Such detailed description emphasizes the importance of the material.

[5:13]  12 tn The form is the Piel plural participle of לָמַד (lamad) used substantivally.

[31:19]  13 tn For this meaning of the verb see HAL 374 s.v. יָדַע Nif 5 or W. L. Holladay, Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon, 129. REB translates “Now that I am submissive” relating the verb to a second root meaning “be submissive.” (See HALOT 375 s.v. II יָדַע and J. Barr, Comparative Philology and the Text of the Old Testament, 19-21, for evidence for this verb. Other passages cited with this nuance are Judg 8:16; Prov 10:9; Job 20:20.)

[31:19]  14 tn Heb “I struck my thigh.” This was a gesture of grief and anguish (cf. Ezek 21:12 [21:17 HT]). The modern equivalent is “to beat the breast.”

[31:19]  15 tn Heb “because I bear the reproach of my youth.” For the plural referents see the note at the beginning of v. 18.

[5:5]  16 tn Grk “who had had thirty-eight years in his disability.”

[5:14]  17 tn Since this is a prohibition with a present imperative, the translation “stop sinning” is sometimes suggested. This is not likely, however, since the present tense is normally used in prohibitions involving a general condition (as here) while the aorist tense is normally used in specific instances. Only when used opposite the normal usage (the present tense in a specific instance, for example) would the meaning “stop doing what you are doing” be appropriate.
