[105:42]  ¹ tn Or “for.”

[105:42]  ² tn Heb “his holy word.”

[106:45]  ³ tn The Niphal of נָחַם (nakham) refers here to God relenting from a punishment already underway.

[8:1]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word translated “remembered” often carries the sense of acting in accordance with what is remembered, i.e., fulfilling covenant promises (see B. S. Childs, Memory and Tradition in Israel [SBT], especially p. 34).

[8:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “to pass over.”

[32:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “said.”

[32:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “the one who said.”

[32:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will cause good” or “I will treat well [or “favorably”].” The idea includes more than prosperity, though that is its essential meaning. Here the form is subordinated to the preceding imperative and indicates purpose or result. Jacob is reminding God of his promise in the hope that God will honor his word.

[7:7]  ⁹ sn Job is probably turning here to God, as is clear from v. 11 on. The NIV supplies the word “God” for clarification. It was God who breathed breath into man’s nostrils (Gen 2:7), and so God is called to remember that man is but a breath.

[7:7]  ¹⁰ tn The word “that” is supplied in the translation.

[7:7]  ¹¹ tn The verb with the infinitive serves as a verbal hendiadys: “return to see” means “see again.”

[62:6]  ¹² sn The speaker here is probably the prophet.

[62:6]  ¹³ tn Heb “all day and all night continually they do not keep silent.” The following lines suggest that they pray for the Lord’s intervention and restoration of the city.

[62:6]  ¹⁴ tn Or “invoke”; NIV “call on”; NASB, NRSV “remind.”
