| (0.30) | (Gen 43:7) | 6 tn Once again the imperfect verbal form is used as a historic future (that is, future from the perspective of past time). |
| (0.30) | (Gen 41:30) | 1 tn The perfect with the vav consecutive continues the time frame of the preceding participle, which has an imminent future nuance here. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 37:28) | 3 tn Heb “Joseph” (both here and in the following clause); the proper name has been replaced both times by the pronoun “him” in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 23:16) | 6 tn Heb “passing for the merchant.” The final clause affirms that the measurement of silver was according to the standards used by the merchants of the time. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 19:23) | 1 sn The sun had just risen. There was very little time for Lot to escape between dawn (v. 15) and sunrise (here). |
| (0.30) | (Gen 14:12) | 4 tn This disjunctive clause is circumstantial/causal, explaining that Lot was captured because he was living in Sodom at the time. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 4:8) | 3 sn The word “brother” appears six times in vv. 8-11, stressing the shocking nature of Cain’s fratricide (see 1 John 3:12). |
| (0.30) | (Gen 4:3) | 1 tn Heb “And it happened at the end of days.” The clause indicates the passing of a set period of time leading up to offering sacrifices. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 3:10) | 2 tn Heb “your sound.” If one sees a storm theophany here (see the note on the word “time” in v. 8), then one could translate, “your powerful voice.” |
| (0.30) | (Gen 2:6) | 2 tn Heb “was going up.” The verb is an imperfect form, which in this narrative context carries a customary nuance, indicating continual action in past time. |
| (0.28) | (3Jo 1:7) | 3 tn The word ἐθνικός (ethnikos) occurs only 4 times in the NT (the other three are in Matt 5:47; 6:7; and 18:17). It is virtually synonymous here with the far more common ἔθνος (ethnos, used some 162 times in the NT). Both refer to the Gentiles (that is, pagans). |
| (0.28) | (Act 21:1) | 1 tn Grk “It happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Since the action described by the participle ἀποσπασθέντας (apospasthentas, “tearing ourselves away”) is prior to the departure of the ship, it has been translated as antecedent action (“after”). |
| (0.28) | (Act 20:16) | 2 tn Grk “so that he might not have to spend time.” L&N 67.79 has “ὅπως μὴ γένηται αὐτῷ χρονοτριβῆσαι ἐν τῇ ᾿Ασίᾳ ‘so as not to spend any time in the province of Asia’ Ac 20:16.” |
| (0.28) | (Joh 7:8) | 3 tn Although the word is καιρός (kairos) here, it parallels John’s use of ὥρα (hōra) elsewhere as a reference to the time appointed for Jesus by the Father—the time of his return to the Father, characterized by his death, resurrection, and ascension (glorification). In the Johannine literature, synonyms are often interchanged for no apparent reason other than stylistic variation. |
| (0.28) | (Luk 24:30) | 1 tn Grk “And it happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. |
| (0.28) | (Luk 24:15) | 1 tn Grk “And it happened that while.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. |
| (0.28) | (Luk 24:4) | 1 tn Grk “And it happened that while.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
