Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Mat 9:6) | 3 sn Jesus did not finish his sentence with words but with action, that is, healing the paralytic with an accompanying pronouncement to him directly. |
| (0.30) | (Mat 8:9) | 4 tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context. |
| (0.30) | (Mat 7:17) | 1 tn Grk “rotten.” The word σαπρός, modifying “tree” in both v. 17 and 18, can also mean “diseased” (L&N 65.28). |
| (0.30) | (Mal 3:13) | 1 tn Heb “your words are hard [or “strong”] against me”; cf. NIV “said harsh things against me”; TEV, NLT “said terrible things about me.” |
| (0.30) | (Zec 13:4) | 2 tn The words “the people” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation from context (cf. NCV, TEV, NLT). |
| (0.30) | (Zec 10:5) | 1 tn Heb “and the riders on horses will be put to shame,” figurative for the defeat of mounted troops. The word “enemy” in the translation is supplied from context. |

| (0.30) | (Hag 2:21) | 2 tn See the note on the word “sky” in 2:6. Most English translations render the Hebrew term as “heavens” here. |

| (0.30) | (Zep 2:6) | 2 tn The Hebrew phrase here is נְוֹת כְּרֹת (nevot kerot). The first word is probably a plural form of נָוָה (navah, “pasture”). The meaning of the second word is unclear. It may be a synonym of the preceding word (cf. NRSV “pastures, meadows for shepherds”); there is a word כַּר (kar, “pasture”) in biblical Hebrew, but elsewhere it forms its plural with a masculine ending. Some have suggested the meaning “wells” or “caves” used as shelters (cf. NEB “shepherds’ huts”); in this case, one might translate, “The seacoast will be used for pasturelands; for shepherds’ wells/caves.” |

| (0.30) | (Nah 3:18) | 4 tn The words “like sheep” are not in the Hebrew text; they are added for clarification of the imagery. The previous line compares Assyria’s leaders to shepherds. |
| (0.30) | (Mic 6:6) | 2 tn The words “with what” do double duty in the parallelism and are supplied in the second line of the translation for clarification. |
