Discovery Box| (0.5320333) | (Eze 32:5) |
1 tc The Hebrew text is difficult here, apparently meaning “your height.” Following Symmachus and the Syriac, it is preferable to emend the text to read “your maggots.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:203. |
| (0.5320333) | (Eze 36:22) |
1 sn In Ezek 20:22 God refrained from punishment for the sake of his holy name. Here God’s reputation is the basis for Israel’s restoration. |
| (0.5320333) | (Eze 36:25) |
1 sn The Lord here uses a metaphor from the realm of ritual purification. For the use of water in ritual cleansing, see Exod 30:19-20; Lev 14:51; Num 19:18; Heb 10:22. |
| (0.5320333) | (Eze 38:5) |
1 tn D. I. Block prefers to see the Hebrew word as referring here to a western ally of Egypt or as an alternative spelling for Pathros, that is, Upper Egypt. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:439-40. |
| (0.5320333) | (Eze 39:2) |
1 tn The Hebrew root occurs only here in the OT. An apparent cognate in the Ethiopic language means “walk along.” For a discussion of the research on this verb, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:460. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 2:2) |
2 tn Heb “Chaldeans.” The term Chaldeans (Hebrew כַּשְׂדִּים, kasdim) is used in the book of Daniel both in an ethnic sense and, as here, to refer to a caste of Babylonian wise men and astrologers. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 3:4) |
1 tn According to BDB 1097 s.v. כָּרוֹז the Aramaic word used here is a Greek loanword, but other scholars have argued instead for a Persian derivation (HALOT 1902 s.v. *כָּרוֹז). |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 4:15) |
1 tn Aram “the stock of its root.” So also v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">23. The implication here is that although the tree is chopped down, it is not killed. Its life-giving root is spared. The application to Nebuchadnezzar is obvious. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 4:29) |
1 tn The word “battlements” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied from context. Many English versions supply “roof” here (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); cf. NLT “on the flat roof.” |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 4:36) |
2 tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 7:11) |
1 tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 8:19) |
1 tn The Hebrew text does not actually state the referent (the vision Daniel saw in vv. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">8-12; cf. also v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">13), which has been specified in the translation for clarity. Some Greek witnesses add “the vision” here. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 8:25) |
1 tn The Hebrew term has a primary meaning of “skill, insight,” but here it has the connotation “cunning, treachery.” See BDB 968 s.v. שֵׂכֶל, שֶׂכֶל. |
| (0.5320333) | (Dan 9:13) |
3 tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">10-11. |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 1:6) |
1 tn Heb “Then he said”; the referent (the |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 1:6) |
4 tn The particle כִּי (ki) probably denotes cause (so NCV, TEV, CEV) or result here (GKC 505 §166.b; BDB 473 s.v. כִּי 3.c). |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 1:9) |
4 tn Heb “I am not yours.” The divine name “God” is supplied in the translation for clarity even though the reading of the MT is followed (see previous tc note). Almost all English versions (including KJV, ASV, NASB) supply “God” here. |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 4:1) |
4 tn Heb “there is no truthfulness nor loyalty nor knowledge of God in the land.” Here “knowledge of God” refers to recognition of his authority and obedience to his will. |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 4:19) |
1 tn Heb “their altars” (so NAB, NRSV) or “their sacrifices” (so KJV, NASB, NIV). Here זִבְחוֹתָם (zivkhotam, “altars; sacrifices”) is a metonymy of association for Israel’s apostate idolatrous Baal worship. |
| (0.5320333) | (Hos 6:7) |
2 tn The verb עָבַר (’avar) refers here to breaking a covenant and carries the nuance “to overstep, transgress” (BDB 717 s.v. עָבַר 1.i). Cf. NAB “violated”; NRSV “transgressed.” |
