| (0.30) | (Isa 3:6) | 3 sn The man’s motives are selfish. He tells his brother to assume leadership because he thinks he has some wealth to give away. |
| (0.30) | (Isa 1:18) | 2 tn Traditionally, “let us reason together,” but the context suggests a judicial nuance. The Lord is giving the nation its options for the future. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 29:12) | 1 tn The Hiphil participle מַקְשִׁיב (maqshiv) means “to give attention to; to regard; to heed.” Cf. NASB, NCV, TEV “pays attention to.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 25:14) | 3 tn Heb “a gift of falsehood.” This would mean that the individual brags about giving a gift, when there is no gift. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 19:21) | 4 sn The point of the proverb is that the human being with many plans is uncertain, but the Lord with a sure plan gives correct counsel. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 17:14) | 2 tc The LXX has “Giving authority to words is the beginning of strife.” This would make it a warning against thoughtless talk. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 16:33) | 3 sn The point concerns seeking God’s will through the practice. The Lord gives guidance in decisions that are submitted to him. |
| (0.30) | (Pro 14:8) | 2 tn The Hiphil infinitive construct denotes purpose. Those who are shrewd will use it to give careful consideration to all their ways. |
| (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 10:24) | 3 tn Heb “it will give.” When used without an expressed subject, the verb יִתֵּן (yitten) has a passive nuance: “it will be granted.” |
| (0.30) | (Pro 1:20) | 3 tn Heb “she gives her voice.” The expression means to shout loudly (BDB 679 s.v. נָתַן Qal 1.x, HALOT 735 s.v. נָתַן Qal 12). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 128:3) | 1 sn The metaphor of the fruitful vine pictures the wife as fertile; she will give her husband numerous children (see the next line). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 127:1) | 1 sn Psalm 127. In this wisdom psalm the psalmist teaches that one does not find security by one’s own efforts, for God alone gives stability and security. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 126:6) | 1 tn The noun occurs only here and in Job 28:18 in the OT. See HALOT 646 s.v. I מֶשֶׁךְ which gives “leather pouch” as the meaning. |
| (0.30) | (Psa 119:130) | 1 tn Heb “the doorway of your words gives light.” God’s “words” refer here to the instructions in his law (see vv. 9, 57). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 37:4) | 2 tn Or “and he will give you what you desire most.” Heb “and he will grant to you the requests of your heart.” |
| (0.30) | (Psa 29:9) | 2 tc Heb “the deer.” Preserving this reading, some translate the preceding verb, “causes [the deer] to give premature birth” (cf. NEB, NASB). But the Polel of חוּל/חִיל (khul/khil) means “give birth,” not “cause to give birth,” and the statement “the Lord’s shout gives birth to deer” is absurd. In light of the parallelism (note “forests” in the next line) and v. 5, it is preferable to emend אַיָּלוֹת (ʾayyalot, “deer”) to אֵילוֹת (ʾelot, “large trees”) understanding the latter as an alternate form of the usual plural form אַיָּלִים (ʾayyalim). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 18:32) | 3 sn Gives me strength. As the following context makes clear, this refers to physical and emotional strength for battle (see especially v. 39). |
| (0.30) | (Psa 13:3) | 2 tn Heb “Give light [to] my eyes.” The Hiphil of אוּר (ʾur), when used elsewhere with “eyes” as object, refers to the law of God giving moral enlightenment (Ps 19:8), to God the creator giving literal eyesight to all people (Prov 29:13), and to God giving encouragement to his people (Ezra 9:8). Here the psalmist pictures himself as being on the verge of death. His eyes are falling shut and, if God does not intervene soon, he will “fall asleep” for good. |
