2 tn The construction is an adverbial accusative of time, answering how long the routine should be followed (see GKC 374 §118.k).

3 tn Or “visible to you” (B. Jacob, Exodus, 366).

4 tn The verb is a Hiphil imperfect of יָרַשׁ (yarash), which means “to possess.” In the causative stem it can mean “dispossess” or “drive out.”

5 sn The verb “covet” means more than desire; it means that some action will be taken to try to acquire the land that is being coveted. It is one thing to envy someone for their land; it is another to be consumed by the desire that stops at nothing to get it (it, not something like it).

6 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct with a preposition and a suffixed subject to form the temporal clause.

7 tn The expression “three times” is an adverbial accusative of time.
