| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “stretches out a line” (ASV similar); NIV “measures with a line.” 2 tn Heb “he makes an outline with the [?].” The noun שֶׂרֶד (shered) occurs only here; it apparently refers to some type of tool or marker. Cf. KJV “with a line”; ASV “with a pencil”; NAB, NRSV “with a stylus”; NASB “with red chalk”; NIV “with a marker.” 3 tn Heb “works” (so NASB) or “fashions” (so NRSV); NIV “he roughs it out.” 4 tn Heb “he makes it like the pattern of a man”; NAB “like a man in appearance.” 5 tn Heb “like the glory of man to sit [in] a house”; NIV “that it may dwell in a shrine.” |
