2 tn Here the infinitive construct is used to express the object or complement of the verb “to be able” (it answers the question of what he will be able to do). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 22:32) |
2 tn The verb יָרַט (yarat) occurs only here and in Job 16:11. Balaam is embarking on a foolish mission with base motives. The old rendering “perverse” is still acceptable. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 23:19) |
2 tn The verb is the Hiphil of קוּם (qum, “to cause to rise; to make stand”). The meaning here is more of the sense of fulfilling the promises made. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 26:1) |
1 sn The breakdown of ch. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">26 for outlining purposes will be essentially according to the tribes of Israel. The format and structure is similar to the first census, and so less comment is necessary here. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 27:13) |
1 tn The first verb is a perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive, and the second verb is also. In such parallel clauses, the first may be subordinated, here as a temporal clause. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 30:4) |
2 tn The verb קוּם (qum) is best translated “stand” here, but the idea with it is that what she vows is established as a genuine oath with the father’s approval (or acquiescence). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 31:15) |
1 tn The verb is the Piel perfect of the word חָיָה (khayah, “to live”). In the Piel stem it must here mean “preserve alive,” or “allow to live,” rather than make alive. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 31:50) |
2 sn The expression here may include the idea of finding protection from divine wrath, which is so common to Leviticus, but it may also be a thank offering for the fact that their lives had been spared. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Num 34:18) |
2 tn The sentence simply uses לִנְחֹל (linkhol, “to divide, apportion”). It has been taken already to mean “allocate as an inheritance.” Here “assist” may be added since Joshua and Eleazar had the primary work. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 1:3) |
1 tn Heb “in” or “on.” Here there is a contrast between the ordinary time of eleven days (v. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">2) and the actual time of forty years, so “not until” brings out that vast disparity. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 1:20) |
1 tn The Hebrew participle has an imminent future sense here, although many English versions treat it as a present tense (“is giving us,” NAB, NIV, NRSV) or a predictive future (“will give us,” NCV). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 4:30) |
1 sn The phrase is not used here in a technical sense for the eschaton, but rather refers to a future time when Israel will be punished for its sin and experience exile. See Deut 31:29. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 4:34) |
3 tn Heb “by testings.” The reference here is the judgments upon Pharaoh in the form of plagues. See Deut 7:19 (cf. v. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">18) and Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">29:3 (cf. v. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">2). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 7:2) |
2 tn In the Hebrew text the infinitive absolute before the finite verb emphasizes the statement. The imperfect has an obligatory nuance here. Cf. ASV “shalt (must NRSV) utterly destroy them”; CEV “must destroy them without mercy.” |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 8:9) |
2 sn A land whose stones are iron. Since iron deposits are few and far between in Palestine, the reference here is probably to iron ore found in mines as opposed to the meteorite iron more commonly known in that area. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 8:15) |
2 tn Heb “the one who brought out for you water.” In the Hebrew text this continues the preceding sentence, but the translation begins a new sentence here for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 11:8) |
1 tn Heb “the commandment.” The singular מִצְוָה (mitsvah, “commandment”) speaks here as elsewhere of the whole corpus of covenant stipulations in Deuteronomy (cf. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">6:1, 25; 7:11; 8:1). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 18:21) |
2 tn Heb “know the word which the Lord has not spoken.” The issue here is not understanding the meaning of the message, but distinguishing a genuine prophetic word from a false one. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 20:17) |
7 tc The LXX adds “Girgashites” here at the end of the list in order to list the full (and usual) complement of seven (see note on “seven” in Deut 7:1). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Deu 23:5) |
2 tn The verb אָהַב (’ahav, “love”) here and commonly elsewhere in the Book of Deuteronomy speaks of God’s elective grace toward Israel. See note on the word “loved” in Deut 4:37. |
