4 tn Heb “20,000 baths” (also a second time later in this verse). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so this was a quantity of about 120,000 gallons (440,000 liters).
5 tn Heb “said.”
6 tn Heb “one who keeps the covenant and the loyal love.”
7 tn Heb “who walk before you with all their heart.”

11 tn Heb “and now my father placed upon you a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke.”

21 tn Heb “seeking,” perhaps in the sense of “consulting [an oracle from].”
22 tn Heb “the gods of the people.”
23 tn Heb “hand.”
