[2:20]  1 tn Heb “will arise and build.” The idiom “arise and…” means to begin the action described by the second verb.

[2:20]  2 tn Heb “portion or right or remembrance.” The expression is probably a hendiatris: The first two nouns retain their full nominal function, while the third noun functions adjectivally (“right or remembrance” = “ancient right”).

[9:10]  3 tn Heb “signs and wonders.” This phrase is a hendiadys. The second noun functions adjectivally, while the first noun retains its full nominal sense: “awesome signs” or “miraculous signs.”

[9:10]  4 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Egyptians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:10]  5 tn Or “arrogantly” (so NASB); NRSV “insolently.”
