¹ tn The imperative here means, literally, “regard as heavy” (כַּבֵּד, kabbed). The meaning is that great importance must be ascribed to parents by their children.

² tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 5:3.

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “by all means.”

⁴ tn Or “righteous” (so NIV, NLT).

⁵ tn Heb “the sacred thing.” The term הַקֹּדֶשׁ (haqqodesh) likely refers to an offering normally set apart for the Lord but, as a third-year tithe, given on this occasion to people in need. Sometimes this is translated as “the sacred portion” (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV), but that could sound to a modern reader as if a part of the house were being removed and given away.

⁶ tn Heb “according to all your commandment that you commanded me.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

⁸ tc The MT reads “hand” (singular). Most versions read the plural.

⁹ tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV); NRSV “of your body.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “return and.” The Hebrew verb is used idiomatically here to indicate the repetition of the following action.

¹¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “for good.”
