1 tn Heb “his hand he stretched out over the sea.”
2 tn Heb “the Lord.” For stylistic reasons the pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation here.
3 tn Heb “concerning Canaan, to destroy her fortresses.” NIV, NLT translate “Canaan” as “Phoenicia” here.
4 tn Heb “your ears” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
5 tn The word “correct’ is supplied in the translation for clarification.
6 tn Heb “and he has spoken and he has acted.”
7 tn Heb “because of the bitterness of my soul.”
8 tn It is not certain what type of tree this otherwise unattested noun refers to. Cf. ASV “a holm-tree” (NRSV similar).
9 tn Heb “strengthens for himself,” i.e., “secures for himself” (see BDB 55 s.v. אָמֵץ Pi.2).
10 tn Some prefer to emend אֹרֶן (’oren) to אֶרֶז (’erez, “cedar”), but the otherwise unattested noun appears to have an Akkadian cognate, meaning “cedar.” See H. R. Cohen, Biblical Hapax Legomena (SBLDS), 44-45. HALOT 90 s.v. I אֹרֶן offers the meaning “laurel.”
11 tn Heb “the reed,” probably referring to the beam of a scales. See BDB 889 s.v. קָנֶה 4.c.
12 tn Heb “and it is displeasing in his eyes.”
