¹ tn Or “disciplined.”

² tn Heb “did not correct him from his days.” The phrase “from his days” means “from his earliest days,” or “ever in his life.” See GKC 382 §119.w, n. 2.

⁴ tn Heb “for this he commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying.”

⁵ tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”

⁶ tn Heb “for a word to me by the word of the Lord.”
