2 tn Heb “which I commanded, dwelling place.” The noun is functioning as an adverbial accusative in relation to the verb. Since God’s dwelling place/sanctuary is in view, the pronoun “my” is supplied in the translation.
3 tn Heb “a piece of silver” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
4 tn Heb “before.”
5 tn Heb “all that is in your heart.”
6 tn Heb “your father surely put the army under an oath.” The infinitive absolute is used before the finite verb to emphasize the solemn nature of the oath.
