[148:2]  1 tn Or “heavenly messengers.”

[148:2]  2 tn Heb “all his host.”

[148:3]  3 tn Heb “stars of light.”

[2:1]  4 tn See the note on the phrase “the heavens and the earth” in 1:1.

[2:1]  5 tn Heb “and all the host of them.” Here the “host” refers to all the entities and creatures that God created to populate the world.

[4:19]  6 tn Heb “lest you lift up your eyes.” In the Hebrew text vv. 16-19 are subordinated to “Be careful” in v. 15, but this makes for an unduly long sentence in English.

[4:19]  7 tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[4:19]  8 tn Heb “all the host of heaven.”

[4:19]  9 tn In the Hebrew text the verbal sequence in v. 19 is “lest you look up…and see…and be seduced…and worship them…and serve them.” However, the first two actions are not prohibited in and of themselves. The prohibition pertains to the final three actions. The first two verbs describe actions that are logically subordinate to the following actions and can be treated as temporal or circumstantial: “lest, looking up…and seeing…, you are seduced.” See Joüon 2:635 §168.h.

[4:19]  10 tn Or “allotted.”

[4:19]  11 tn Or “nations.”

[4:19]  12 tn Heb “under all the heaven.”

[8:2]  13 tc MT, 4QJera and LXX read “the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven,” but 4QJerc reads “the sun and all the stars.”

[8:2]  14 tn Heb “the sun, moon, and host of heaven which they…”

[8:2]  15 tn Heb “followed after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for the idiom.

[8:2]  16 tn Heb “they will not” but the referent is far enough removed that it might be ambiguous.

[8:2]  17 tn Heb “like dung/manure on the surface of the ground.”

[1:25]  18 tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was converted to a personal pronoun and, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:25]  19 tn Grk “the lie.”

[1:25]  20 tn Or “creature, created things.”
