| (0.44) | (Exo 24:8) | 1 tn Given the size of the congregation, the preposition might be rendered here “toward the people” rather than on them (all). |
| (0.44) | (Exo 15:4) | 3 tn The form is a Qal passive rather than a Pual, for there is not Piel form or meaning. |
| (0.44) | (Gen 20:7) | 1 tn Or “for,” if the particle is understood as causal (as many English translations do) rather than asseverative. |
| (0.44) | (Gen 14:15) | 4 tn Heb “left.” Directions in ancient Israel were given in relation to the east rather than the north. |
| (0.44) | (Gen 3:24) | 2 tn Or “placed in front.” Directions in ancient Israel were given in relation to the east rather than the north. |
| (0.38) | (1Sa 30:22) | 1 tc Heb “with me.” The singular is used rather than the plural because the group is being treated as a singular entity, in keeping with Hebrew idiom. It is not necessary to read “with us,” rather than the MT “with me,” although the plural can be found here in a few medieval Hebrew mss. See also the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate, although these versions may simply reflect an understanding of the idiom as found in the MT rather than a different textual reading. |
| (0.37) | (Rev 22:13) | 1 sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator. |

| (0.37) | (Rev 1:6) | 1 tn The verb ποιέω (poieō) can indicate appointment or assignment rather than simply “make” or “do.” See Mark 3:14 (L&N 37.106). |
| (0.37) | (Heb 5:1) | 1 tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anthrōpōn) has been translated “people.” |
| (0.37) | (Gal 6:18) | 1 tn Or “is.” No verb is stated, but a wish (“be”) rather than a declarative statement (“is”) is most likely in a concluding greeting such as this. |
| (0.37) | (Act 26:10) | 3 tn Grk “when they were being executed,” but the context supports the sentencing rather than the execution itself (cf. L&N 30.103). |
