Discovery Box| (0.50) | (Jer 34:7) | 1 tn Heb “And the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, [namely] against Lachish and Azekah, for they alone were left of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.” The intent of this sentence is to serve as a circumstantial sentence to v. 6 (= “while the army…”). That thought is picked up by “he did this while….” The long, complex sentence in v. 7 has been divided in two, with qualifying material moved to create shorter English sentences in conformity with contemporary style. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 13:13) | 4 tn In Hebrew this is all one long sentence with one verb governing compound objects. It is broken up here in conformity with English style. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 11:7) | 1 tn Heb “warned them…saying, ‘Obey me.’” However, it allows the long sentence to be broken up easier if the indirect quote is used. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 11:4) | 2 tn Heb “does not listen…this covenant which I commanded your fathers.” The sentence is broken up this way in conformity with contemporary English style. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 8:16) | 2 tn The words “They are coming to destroy” are not in the text. They are inserted to break up a long sentence in conformity with contemporary English style. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 7:9) | 1 tn Heb “Will you steal…then say, ‘We are safe’?” Verses 9-10 are one long sentence in the Hebrew text. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 5:19) | 3 tn Heb “As you left me and…, so you will….” The translation was chosen so as to break up a rather long and complex sentence. |
| (0.50) | (Jer 3:23) | 1 tn Heb “Truly in vain from the hills the noise/commotion [and from] the mountains.” The syntax of the Hebrew sentence is very elliptical here. |
| (0.50) | (Isa 32:13) | 1 tn “Mourn” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence. |
| (0.50) | (Pro 30:13) | 1 tn Heb “how high are its eyes!” This is a use of the interrogative pronoun in exclamatory sentences (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 25, §127). |
| (0.50) | (Pro 26:6) | 2 tn The participle could be taken as the subject of the sentence: “the one who sends…cuts off…and drinks.” |
| (0.50) | (Pro 8:34) | 2 tn The form לִשְׁקֹד (lishqod) is the infinitive construct serving epexegetically in the sentence. It explains how the person will listen to wisdom. |
| (0.50) | (Pro 8:13) | 1 tn The verb שָׂנֵא (saneʾ) means “to hate.” In this sentence it functions nominally as the predicate. Fearing the Lord is hating evil. |
| (0.50) | (Job 37:12) | 1 tn The words “the clouds” are supplied from v. 11; the sentence itself actually starts: “and it goes round,” referring to the cloud. |
| (0.50) | (Job 37:23) | 1 tn The name “Almighty” is here a casus pendens, isolating the name at the front of the sentence and resuming it with a pronoun. |
| (0.50) | (Job 30:27) | 3 tn The last clause reads “and they [it] are not quiet” or “do not cease.” The clause then serves adverbially for the sentence—“unceasingly.” |
| (0.50) | (Job 29:2) | 4 tn The construct state (“days of”) governs the independent sentence that follows (see GKC 422 §130.d): “as the days of […] God used to watch over me.” |
| (0.50) | (Job 9:33) | 3 tn The jussive in conditional sentences retains its voluntative sense: let something be so, and this must happen as a consequence (see GKC 323 §109.i). |
| (0.50) | (Job 7:20) | 1 tn The simple perfect verb can be used in a conditional sentence without a conditional particle present (see GKC 494 §159.h). |
| (0.50) | (Job 4:5) | 1 tn The sentence has no subject, but the context demands that the subject be the same kind of trouble that has come upon people that Job has helped. |
