1 tn Now the protasis continues again.
2 sn Some commentators suggest taking the meaning here to be “as Adam,” referring to the Paradise story of the sin and denial.
3 tn The infinitive is epexegetical, explaining the first line.
4 tn The MT has “in my bosom.” This is the only place in the OT where this word is found. But its meaning is well attested from Aramaic.
5 tn Heb “him” (also in v. 7); the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
7 tn The verb נָגַד (nagad) means “to declare; to tell.” Here it is clear that God is making known the sins that caused the enslavement or captivity, so “reveal” makes a good interpretive translation.
8 tn Heb “their work.”
