| (0.4116078313253) | (Exo 18:7) |
1 sn This is more than polite oriental custom. Jethro was Moses’ benefactor, father-in-law, and a priest. He paid much respect to him. Now he could invite Jethro into his home (see B. Jacob, Exodus, 496). |
| (0.4116078313253) | (Exo 23:14) |
1 tn The expression rendered “three times” is really “three feet,” or “three foot-beats.” The expression occurs only a few times in the Law. The expressing is an adverbial accusative. |

| (0.4116078313253) | (Num 19:21) |
1 tn The form has the conjunction with it: וּמַזֵּה (umazzeh). The conjunction subordinates the following as the special law. It could literally be translated “and this shall be…that the one who sprinkles.” |
| (0.4116078313253) | (Deu 24:19) |
