NET Notes

¹tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “without fail.”

²tn Heb “your brothers,” but not referring to siblings (cf. NIV “your brother Israelites”; NLT “a fellow Israelite”). The same phrase also occurs in v. 20.

³tn Heb “your brothers.” See the preceding note on “fellow citizens.”
