Discovery Box| (0.35) | (Num 11:5) | 2 tn The imperfect tense would here be the customary imperfect, showing continual or incomplete action in past time. |
| (0.35) | (Num 10:34) | 2 tn The adverbial clause of time is composed of the infinitive construct with a temporal preposition and a suffixed subjective genitive. |
| (0.35) | (Lev 7:36) | 3 tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come”; TEV “for all time to come.” |
| (0.35) | (Exo 31:15) | 1 tn This is an adverbial accusative of time, indicating that work may be done for six days out of the week. |
| (0.35) | (Exo 18:22) | 2 tn Heb “in every time,” meaning “in all normal cases” or “under normal circumstances.” The same phrase occurs in v. 26. |
| (0.35) | (Exo 17:12) | 1 tn Literally “now the hands of Moses,” the disjunctive vav (ו) introduces a circumstantial clause here—of time. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 38:19) | 1 tn Heb “and she arose and left,” the first verb in the pair emphasizing that she wasted no time. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 31:21) | 2 tn Heb “he arose and crossed.” The first verb emphasizes that he wasted no time in getting across. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 31:10) | 2 tn Heb “in the time of the breeding of the flock I lifted up my eyes and I saw.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 19:1) | 1 tn The disjunctive clause is temporal here, indicating what Lot was doing at the time of their arrival. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 13:9) | 1 tn The words “you go” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons both times in this verse. |
| (0.35) | (Act 19:23) | 1 tn Grk “There happened at that time.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Instead the verb “took place” has been supplied in the translation. |
| (0.35) | (Act 3:21) | 3 tn Grk “until the times of the restoration of all things.” Because of the awkward English style of the extended genitive construction, and because the following relative clause has as its referent the “time of restoration” rather than “all things,” the phrase was translated “until the time all things are restored.” |
| (0.35) | (Joh 4:6) | 2 sn It was about noon. The suggestion has been made by some that time should be reckoned from midnight rather than sunrise. This would make the time 6 a.m. rather than noon. That would fit in this passage but not in John 19:14 which places the time when Jesus is condemned to be crucified at “the sixth hour.” |
| (0.35) | (Joh 1:7) | 1 sn Witness is also one of the major themes of John’s Gospel. The Greek verb μαρτυρέω (martureō) occurs 33 times (compare to once in Matthew, once in Luke, 0 in Mark) and the noun μαρτυρία (marturia) 14 times (0 in Matthew, once in Luke, 3 times in Mark). |
| (0.35) | (Joh 1:4) | 1 tn John uses ζωή (zōē) 36 times: 17 times it occurs with αἰώνιος (aiōnios), and in the remaining occurrences outside the prologue it is clear from context that “eternal” life is meant. The two uses in 1:4, if they do not refer to “eternal” life, would be the only exceptions. (Also 1 John uses ζωή 13 times, always of “eternal” life.) |
| (0.35) | (Luk 3:7) | 2 sn The crowds. It is interesting to trace references to “the crowd” in Luke. It is sometimes noted favorably, other times less so. The singular appears 25 times in Luke while the plural occurs 16 times. Matt 3:7 singles out the Sadducees and Pharisees here. |
| (0.35) | (Mat 13:23) | 1 tn The Greek is difficult to translate because it switches from a generic “he” to three people within this generic class (thus, something like: “Who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one instance a hundred times, in another, sixty times, in another, thirty times”). |
| (0.35) | (Mat 11:13) | 1 tn The word “appeared” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. In the interest of clarity other translations have supplied phrases like “up to the time of John” (NAB); “until the time of John” (TEV); “until John came” (NRSV); “until the time John came” (NCV). |
| (0.35) | (Hab 2:3) | 1 tn Heb “For the vision is still for the appointed time.” The Hebrew word עוֹד (ʿod, “still”) is better emended to עֵד (ʿed, “witness”) in light of the parallelism (see the note on the word “turn out” in the following line). The “appointed time” refers to the time when the divine judgment anticipated in vv. 6-20 will be realized. |
