Discovery Box| (0.38) | (Jer 33:10) | 1 tn Heb “Thus says the Lord.” For the first person rendering see the translator’s note at the end of v. 2. |
| (0.38) | (Jer 30:12) | 1 tn The particle כִּי (ki) here is parallel to the one in v. 5 that introduces the first oracle. See the discussion in the translator’s note there. |
| (0.38) | (Jer 16:14) | 2 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” The Lord has been speaking; the first person has been utilized in translation to avoid a shift that might create confusion. |
| (0.38) | (Jer 16:16) | 1 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” The Lord has been speaking; the first person has been utilized in translation to avoid a shift that might create confusion. |
| (0.38) | (Jer 14:17) | 3 tn Heb “virgin daughter, my people.” The last noun here is appositional to the first two (genitive of apposition). Hence it is not ‘literally’ “virgin daughter of my people.” |
| (0.38) | (Jer 11:21) | 3 tc The MT reads the second person masculine singular suffix “your life,” but LXX reflects an alternative reading of the first person common singular suffix “my life.” |
| (0.38) | (Isa 66:3) | 3 tn Heb “one who offers an offering, pig’s blood.” Some understand a comparison, but see the note at the end of the first line. |
| (0.38) | (Isa 60:17) | 2 tn The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the first two lines of the verse). |
| (0.38) | (Isa 51:19) | 1 tc The Hebrew text has אֲנַחֲמֵךְ (ʾanakhamekh), a first person form, but the Qumran scroll 1QIsaa reads correctly יְנַחֲמֵךְ (yenakhamekh), a third person form. |
| (0.38) | (Isa 41:27) | 1 tn The Hebrew text reads simply, “First to Zion, ‘Look here they are!’” The words “I decreed” are supplied in the translation for clarification. |
| (0.38) | (Isa 1:3) | 1 tn Heb “and the donkey the feeding trough of its owner.” The verb in the first line does double duty in the parallelism. |
| (0.38) | (Sos 8:2) | 5 tc The MT reads the singular noun with first person common singular suffix רִמֹּנִי (rimmoni, “my pomegranate”). However, many Hebrew mss preserve an alternate textual tradition of a plural noun without the first person common singular suffix רִמֹּנִים (rimmonim, “pomegranates”), which is also reflected in the Aramaic Targum. However, LXX ῥοῶν μου (hroōn mou, “the nectar of my pomegranates”) reflects both the plural noun and the first person common singular suffix. Therefore, R. Gordis suggests that MT רִמֹּנִי is an apocopated plural with a first person common singular suffix: “my pomegranates.” |
| (0.38) | (Pro 26:1) | 2 sn The first twelve verses of this chapter, Prov 26:1-12, are sometimes called “the Book of Fools” because they deal with the actions of fools. |
| (0.38) | (Pro 22:12) | 2 tn The first verb is the Hebrew perfect form and the second is a preterite, successive actions in past time. The proverb presents something God has done as prototypical. |
| (0.38) | (Pro 21:24) | 4 tn Heb “does.” The Qal active participle “does” serves as the main verb, and the subject is “proud person” in the first line. |
| (0.38) | (Pro 19:20) | 2 tn The proverb is one continuous thought, but the second half of the verse provides the purpose for the imperatives of the first half. |
| (0.38) | (Pro 18:13) | 3 tn Heb “it is folly to him and shame.” The verse uses formal parallelism, with the second colon simply completing the thought of the first. |
| (0.38) | (Pro 13:25) | 3 sn The wicked may go hungry, or lack all they desire, just as the first colon may mean that what the righteous acquire proves satisfying to them. |
| (0.38) | (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.” |
| (0.38) | (Pro 11:31) | 3 tn Heb “the wicked and the sinner.” The two terms may form a hendiadys with the first functioning adjectivally: “the wicked sinner.” |
