[35:20]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text is more vivid: “by lying in wait.”

[32:7]  ¹ tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 9.

[32:9]  ¹ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive is here subordinated to the parallel yet chronologically later verb in the next clause.

[32:9]  ² tn The infinitive construct here with lamed (ל) is functioning as a result clause.

[32:9]  ³ 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.

[15:25]  ¹ tn The verb is the Piel perfect with vav (ו) consecutive (וְכִפֶּר, vÿkhipper) to continue the instruction of the passage: “the priest shall make atonement,” meaning the priest is to make atonement for the sin (thus the present translation). This verb means “to expiate,” “to atone for,” “to pacify.” It describes the ritual events by which someone who was separated from the holy Lord God could find acceptance into his presence through the sacrificial blood of the substitutionary animal. See Lev 1 and Num 17:6-15.

[15:25]  ² tn Or “they will be forgiven.”
