Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Mic 1:10) | 1 tn Heb “Tell it not in Gath.” The Hebrew word for “tell” (נָגַד, nagad) sounds like the name of the city, Gath (גַּת, gat). |
| (0.30) | (Oba 1:9) | 2 tn The Hebrew word used here (לְמַעַן, lemaʿan) usually expresses purpose. The sense in this context, however, is more likely that of result. |
| (0.30) | (Hos 14:8) | 2 tn The term “like” does not appear in the Hebrew text but is supplied in the translation for clarity, as in the majority of English versions (including KJV). |
| (0.30) | (Hos 11:1) | 1 tn The words “like a son” are not in the Hebrew text but are necessary to clarify what sort of love is intended (cf. also NLT). |
| (0.30) | (Dan 10:16) | 2 tc So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read: “something that looked like a man’s hand.” |
| (0.30) | (Dan 3:25) | 1 sn The phrase like that of a god is in Aramaic “like that of a son of the gods.” Many patristic writers understood this phrase in a christological sense (i.e., “the Son of God”). But it should be remembered that these are words spoken by a pagan who is seeking to explain things from his own polytheistic frame of reference; for him the phrase “like a son of the gods” is equivalent to “like a divine being.” Despite the king’s description though, the fourth person probably was an angel who had come to deliver the three men, or was a theophany. |
| (0.30) | (Eze 25:16) | 1 tn In Hebrew the verb “and I will cut off” sounds like its object, “the Kerethites,” and draws attention to the statement. |
| (0.30) | (Eze 1:14) | 1 tn Lit., “like the appearance of lightning.” The Hebrew term translated “lightning” occurs only here in the OT. In postbiblical Hebrew the term refers to a lightning flash. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 46:19) | 1 tn Heb “inhabitants of daughter Egypt.” Like the phrase “daughter Zion,” “daughter Egypt” is a poetic personification of the land, here perhaps to stress the idea of defenselessness. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 21:12) | 5 tn Heb “Lest my wrath go out like fire and burn with no one to put it out because of the evil of your deeds.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 19:11) | 3 tn Heb “Like this I will break this people and this city, just as one breaks the vessel of a potter that is not able to be repaired.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 13:21) | 4 tn Heb “Will not pain [here = mental anguish] take hold of you like a woman giving birth.” The question is rhetorical expecting a positive answer. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 4:13) | 2 tn Heb “his chariots [are] like a whirlwind.” The words “roar” and “sound” are supplied in the translation to clarify the significance of the simile. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 3:2) | 3 tn Heb “You sat for them [the lovers, i.e., the foreign gods] beside the road like an Arab in the desert.” |
| (0.30) | (Isa 48:18) | 3 tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsedaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19. |
| (0.30) | (Isa 45:9) | 5 tn Heb “your work, there are no hands for it,” i.e., “your work looks like something made by a person who has no hands.” |
| (0.30) | (Isa 41:25) | 3 tn The Hebrew text has וְיָבֹא (veyavoʾ, “and he comes”), but this likely needs to be emended to an original וַיָּבָס (vayyavas), from בּוּס (bus, “step on”). |
| (0.30) | (Isa 42:1) | 3 sn Like the ideal king portrayed in Isa 11:1-9, the servant is energized by the divine spirit and establishes justice on the earth. |
| (0.30) | (Isa 40:13) | 2 tn In this context רוּחַ (ruakh) likely refers to the Lord’s “mind,” or mental faculties, rather than his personal Spirit (see BDB 925 s.v. 6). |
| (0.30) | (Isa 30:14) | 1 tn Heb “Its shattering is like the shattering of a jug of [i.e., “made by”] potters, [so] shattered one cannot save [any of it].” |
