[7:73]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of Israel.” So also in vv. 14, 17; 9:1.

[7:73]  ² tn The traditional understanding of the chapter and verse division here is probably incorrect. The final part of v. 73 is best understood as belonging with 8:1.

[9:2]  ³ tn Heb “the seed of Israel.”

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “sons of a foreigner.”

[9:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 16, 23, 32, 34, 36).

[13:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “gave.”

[2:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “servant” (so KJV, ASV; NAB “slave”; NCV “officer.” This phrase also occurs in v. 19.

[7:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “the men of the people of Israel.” Some English versions translate as “the people from Israel” (NCV) or “the Israelite people” (NRSV), but “men” should be retained because the following numbers presumably include only adult males.

[8:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[13:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “bread.” The Hebrew term is generic here, however, referring to more than bread alone.

[1:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “have sinned.” For stylistic reasons – to avoid redundancy in English – this was translated as “committed.”

[1:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the house of my father.”

[8:1]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “like one man.”

[8:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “said [to].”

[8:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “And there was very great joy.”

[11:3]  ²¹ tn Heb “the heads of the province.”

[12:47]  ²³ tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”

[12:47]  ²⁴ tn Heb “were sanctifying.”

[13:18]  ²⁵ tn Heb “your fathers.”
