1 tn Heb “and my commandments you shall keep and do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 20:8; 25:18, etc.).
2 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
3 tn Heb “the tree of the field will give its fruit.” As a collective singular this has been translated as plural.
4 tn Heb “will reach for you the vintage season.”
5 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
6 tn Heb “to satisfaction”; KJV, ASV, NASB “to the full.”
7 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
8 tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
9 tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).
10 tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.
11 tn Heb “to the sword.”
12 tn Heb “cause to arise,” but probably used here for the
13 tn Heb “old [produce] growing old.”
14 tn Heb “and old from the presence of new you will bring out.”
15 tn Heb “the tree of the land will not give its fruit.” The collective singular has been translated as a plural. Tg. Onq., some medieval Hebrew
16 tn Heb “the animal of the field.” This collective singular has been translated as a plural. The expression “animal of the field” refers to a wild (i.e., nondomesticated) animal.
17 tn The words “of your children” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
18 tn Heb “and diminish you.”
19 tn Heb “and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.” The phrase “you will eat” has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
