¹ tc One medieval Hebrew ms, Smr, and all the major ancient versions have the plural “nations.” Some English versions retain the singular (e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV); others have the plural “nations” (e.g., NAB, NIV) and still others translate as “people” (e.g., TEV, NLT).

² tn Heb “from being to them slaves.”

³ tn In other words, to walk as free people and not as slaves. Cf. NIV “with (+ your CEV, NLT) heads held high”; NCV “proudly.”

⁴ tn Heb “or then,” although the LXX has “then” and the Syriac “and then.”

⁵ tn Heb “and then they make up for.” On the verb “make up for” see the note on v. 34 above.
