[20:29]  1 tn For the word אִמְרוֹ (’imro) some propose reading “his appointment,” and the others, “his word.” Driver shows that “the heritage of his appointment” means “his appointed heritage” (see GKC 440 §135.n).

[32:2]  2 tn The verse begins with וַיִּחַר אַף (vayyikharaf, “and the anger became hot”), meaning Elihu became very angry.

[32:2]  3 tn The second comment about Elihu’s anger comes right before the statement of its cause. Now the perfect verb is used: “he was angry.”

[32:2]  4 tn The explanation is the causal clause עַל־צַדְּקוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ (’al-tsaddÿqo nafsho, “because he justified himself”). It is the preposition with the Piel infinitive construct with a suffixed subjective genitive.

[32:2]  5 tc The LXX and Latin versions soften the expression slightly by saying “before God.”
