Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Ecc 2:8) | 2 tn Heb “of kings and provinces.” This personal treasure was taken as tribute from other kings and governors. See T. Longman III, Ecclesiastes (NICOT), 92. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 29:19) | 3 tn Heb “for he understands, but there is no answer.” The concessive idea (“although”) is taken from the juxtaposition of the two parts. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 26:6) | 2 tn The participle could be taken as the subject of the sentence: “the one who sends…cuts off…and drinks.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 22:1) | 2 tn “To be chosen rather than” is a translation of the Niphal participle with the comparative degree taken into consideration. Cf. CEV “worth much more than.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 21:18) | 3 tn The phrase “are taken” does not appear in the Hebrew but is implied by the parallelism; it is supplied in the translation for smoothness. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 13:14) | 4 tn The infinitive construct with preposition ל (lamed) gives the result (or, purpose) of the first statement. It could also be taken epexegetically, “by turning.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 11:6) | 2 tn The verb לָכַד (lakhad) means “to capture, trap, overpower.” Here it is passive; cf. NIV, TEV “are trapped,” NASB, NKJV “caught,” ESV, NRSV “taken captive.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 9:11) | 2 tn The verb וְיוֹסִיפוּ (veyosifu) is the Hiphil imperfect, third masculine plural, but because there is no expressed subject the verb may be taken as a passive. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 143:10) | 3 tn The prefixed verbal form is taken as a jussive. Taking the statement as a prayer fits well with the petitionary tone of vv. 7-10a. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 110:6) | 1 tn The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 6-7 are understood here as descriptive-dramatic or as generalizing, though they could be taken as future. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 110:2) | 2 tn The prefixed verbal form is understood here as descriptive-dramatic or as generalizing, though it could be taken as future. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 107:35) | 2 tn The verbal form appears to be a preterite, which is most naturally taken as narrational. See the note on the word “turned” in v. 33. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 57:1) | 5 tn Heb “my life has taken shelter.” The Hebrew perfect verbal form probably refers here to a completed action with continuing results. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 53:6) | 4 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 37:27) | 2 tn Heb “and dwell permanently.” The imperative with vav (ו) is best taken here as a result clause after the preceding imperatives. |

| (0.30) | (Psa 14:7) | 4 tn Because the parallel verb is jussive, this verb, which is ambiguous in form, should be taken as a jussive as well. |
| (0.30) | (Job 39:28) | 2 tn The word could be taken as the predicate, but because of the conjunction it seems to be adding another description of the place of its nest. |
| (0.30) | (Job 38:5) | 1 tn The particle כִּי (ki) is taken here for a conditional clause, “if you know” (see GKC 498 §159.dd). Others take it as “surely” with a biting irony. |
