[6:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb is simply “enter, go,” no doubt with the sense of go near.

[6:6]  ² tn The Hebrew has נֶפֶשׁ מֵת (nefesh met), literally a “dead person.” But since the word נֶפֶשׁ can also be used for animals, the restriction would be for any kind of corpse. Death was very much a part of the fallen world, and so for one so committed to the Lord, avoiding all such contamination would be a witness to the greatest separation, even in a family.

[8:13]  ³ tc The Greek text adds the Lord here: “before the Lord, before Aaron.”

[15:4]  ⁵ tn The three words at the beginning of this verse are all etymologically related: “the one who offers his offering shall offer.”

[15:4]  ⁶ sn Obviously, as the wording of the text affirms, this kind of offering would be made after they were in the land and able to produce the grain and oil for the sacrifices. The instructions anticipated their ability to do this, and this would give hope to them. The amounts are difficult to determine, but it may be that they were to bring 4.5 liters of flour and 1.8 liters each of oil and wine.

[28:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “the one lamb,” but it is meant to indicate for “each lamb.”

[28:7]  ⁸ tn The word שֵׁכָר (shekhar) is often translated “strong drink.” It can mean “barley beer” in the Akkadian cognate, and also in the Hebrew Bible when joined with the word for wine. English versions here read “wine” (NAB, TEV, CEV); “strong wine” (KJV); “fermented drink” (NIV, NLT); “strong drink” (ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[28:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “one kid of the goats.”

[30:3]  ¹¹ tn The qualification comes at the end of the verse, and simply says “in her youth.”

[30:3]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text just has “in her father’s house” and not “who is still living,” but that is the meaning of the line.

[31:40]  ¹³ tn Heb “soul.”

[32:23]  ¹⁵ tn The nuance of the perfect tense here has to be the future perfect.
