Discovery Box| (0.02) | (Rut 2:9) | 3 tn Heb “and go after them.” The pronominal suffix (“them”) is feminine plural, indicating that the female workers are referred to here. |
| (0.02) | (Rut 2:9) | 4 tn Male servants are in view here, as the masculine plural form of the noun indicates (cf. KJV, NAB, NRSV “the young men”). |
| (0.02) | (Rut 2:2) | 1 tn The cohortative here (“Let me go”) expresses Ruth’s request. Note Naomi’s response, in which she gives Ruth permission to go to the field. |
| (0.02) | (Rut 1:13) | 3 tn The negative is used here in an elliptical manner for emphasis (see HALOT 48 s.v. I אַל; GKC 479-80 §152.g). |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 18:28) | 1 tn Heb “it.” The Hebrew pronoun is feminine singular here, referring to the “city” (a grammatically feminine singular noun) mentioned in v. 27. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 18:28) | 4 tn Heb “it.” The Hebrew pronoun is feminine singular here, referring to the “city” (a grammatically feminine singular noun) mentioned in v. 27. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 12:3) | 4 tn The Hebrew adds “against me” here. This is redundant in English and has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 11:40) | 2 tn Heb “go to commemorate.” The rare Hebrew verb תָּנָה (tanah, “to tell; to repeat; to recount”) occurs only here and in 5:11. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 9:22) | 1 tn The Hebrew verb translated “commanded” (שָׂרַר, sarar), which appears only here in Judges, differs from the ones employed earlier in this chapter (מָשַׁל [mashal] and מָלַךְ [malakh]). |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 7:22) | 2 tc MT has “and throughout the camp,” but the conjunction (“and”) is due to dittography and should be dropped. Compare the ancient versions, which lack the conjunction here. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 6:14) | 1 tc The LXX reads “the angel of the Lord” here and in v. 16. The translation follows the MT and adds “himself” to draw attention to the change. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 2:20) | 4 tn Heb “and has not listened to my voice.” The expression “to not listen to [God’s] voice” is idiomatic here for disobeying him. |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 1:15) | 2 tn Some translations regard the expressions “springs of water” (גֻּלֹּת מָיִם, gullot mayim) and “springs” (גֻּלֹּת) as place names here (cf. NRSV). |
| (0.02) | (Jdg 1:3) | 3 tn Heb “I.” The Hebrew pronoun is singular, agreeing with the collective singular “Judah” earlier in the verse. English style requires a plural pronoun here, however. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 24:23) | 2 tn Heb “bend your heart toward.” The term לֵבָב (levav, “heart”) probably here refers to the people’s volition or will. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 17:18) | 1 tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 17:16) | 1 tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 17:12) | 1 tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 10:29) | 1 tn Heb “Libnah.” Repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style, so the pronoun (“it”) has been employed in the translation. |
| (0.02) | (Jos 10:24) | 1 tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style. |
