[25:12]  ¹ tn Heb “say.”

[25:12]  ² tn Here too the grammar expresses an imminent future by using the particle הִנְנִי (hinni) before the participle נֹתֵן (noten) – “here I am giving,” or “I am about to give.”

[25:12]  ³ tn Or “my pledge of friendship” (NAB), or “my pact of friendship” (NJPS). This is the designation of the leadership of the priestly ministry. The terminology is used again in the rebuke of the priests in Mal 2.

[7:9]  ⁴ tn The verb is the imperfect tense, but it describes their customary activity – they had to carry, they used to carry.

[7:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “upon them,” meaning “their duty.”

[7:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “hand.”

[15:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the land of your habitations.”

[15:2]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew participle here has the futur instans use of the participle, expressing that something is going to take place. It is not imminent, but it is certain that God would give the land to Israel.

[21:2]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text uses a cognate accusative with the verb: They vowed a vow. The Israelites were therefore determined with God’s help to defeat Arad.

[21:2]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text has the infinitive absolute and the imperfect tense of נָתַן (natan) to stress the point – if you will surely/indeed give.”

[21:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “my.”

[21:2]  ¹⁶ tn On the surface this does not sound like much of a vow. But the key is in the use of the verb for “utterly destroy” – חָרַם (kharam). Whatever was put to this “ban” or “devotion” belonged to God, either for his use, or for destruction. The oath was in fact saying that they would take nothing from this for themselves. It would simply be the removal of what was alien to the faith, or to God’s program.

[21:29]  ¹⁶ sn The note of holy war emerges here as the victory is a victory over the local gods as well as over the people.

[27:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “[the daughters of Zelophehad] speak right” (using the participle דֹּבְרֹת [dovÿrot] with כֵּן [ken]).

[27:7]  ²⁰ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute with the imperfect tense. The imperfect is functioning as the imperfect of instruction, and so the infinitive strengthens the force of the instruction.

[27:7]  ²¹ tn The verb is the Hiphil perfect with a vav (ו) consecutive, from the root עָבַר (’avar, “to pass over”). Here it functions as the equivalent of the imperfect of instruction: “and you shall cause to pass,” meaning, “transfer.”

[32:7]  ²² tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 9.

[13:2]  ²⁵ tn The imperfect tense with the conjunction is here subordinated to the preceding imperative to form the purpose clause. It can thus be translated “send…to investigate.”

[13:2]  ²⁶ tn The participle here should be given a future interpretation, meaning “which I am about to give” or “which I am going to give.”

[13:2]  ²⁷ tn Heb “one man one man of the tribe of his fathers.”

[21:23]  ²⁸ tn Heb “Sihon.”

[21:23]  ²⁹ tn Heb “people.”

[21:23]  ³⁰ tn The clause begins with a preterite with vav (ו) consecutive, but may be subordinated to the next preterite as a temporal clause.

[32:9]  ³¹ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the parallel yet chronologically later verb in the next clause.

[32:9]  ³² tn The infinitive construct here with lamed (ל) is functioning as a result clause.

[32:9]  ³³ tn The Lord had not given it yet, but was going to give it. Hence, the perfect should be classified as a perfect of resolve.
