[18:18]  ¹ tn Here the imperfect ἔκραζον (ekrazon) has been translated ingressively.

[18:18]  ² tn Grk “from the burning of her, saying.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burned her up,” see L&N 14.63. Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

[19:3]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[19:3]  ⁴ tn Or “her smoke ascends forever and ever.”

[19:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “upon the face of.”

[19:28]  ⁶ tn Or “all the land of the plain”; Heb “and all the face of the land of the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.

[16:23]  ¹⁴ sn The Greek term Hades stands for the Hebrew concept of Sheol. It is what is called hell today. This is where the dead were gathered (Ps 16:10; 86:13). In the NT Hades has an additional negative force of awaiting judgment (Rev 20:13).

[16:23]  ¹⁵ sn Hades is a place of torment, especially as one knows that he is separated from God.

[16:23]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he lifted up his eyes” (an idiom).

[16:23]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “in his bosom,” the same phrase used in 16:22. This idiom refers to heaven and/or participation in the eschatological banquet. An appropriate modern equivalent is “at Abraham’s side.”
