| (0.53169513043478) | (Exo 23:33) |

| (0.53169513043478) | (Exo 29:5) |
2 tn The verb used in this last clause is a denominative verb from the word for ephod. And so “ephod the ephod on him” means “fasten as an ephod the ephod on him” (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 316). |
| (0.53169513043478) | (Exo 29:30) |

5 tn This noun is usually given an interpretive translation. B. Jacob renders the bound relationship as “the holy task” or “the sacred task” (Exodus, 1019). The NIV makes it “constructing,” so read “the work of constructing the sanctuary.” |
| (0.53169513043478) | (Exo 36:35) |
1 tn The verb is simply “he made” but as in Exod 26:31 it probably means that the cherubim were worked into the curtain with the yarn, and so embroidered on the curtain. |
