Discovery Box| (0.35) | (Act 7:49) | 1 sn What kind…resting place? The rhetorical questions suggest mere human beings cannot build a house to contain God. |
| (0.35) | (Act 7:43) | 1 sn A tabernacle was a tent used to house religious objects or a shrine (i.e., a portable sanctuary). |
| (0.35) | (Luk 11:8) | 1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man in bed in the house) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.35) | (Luk 10:7) | 2 tn Grk “eating and drinking the things from them” (an idiom for what the people in the house provide the guests). |
| (0.35) | (Mar 14:17) | 2 tn The prepositional phrase “to the house” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied for clarity. |
| (0.35) | (Hag 2:9) | 1 tn Heb “greater will be the latter splendor of this house than the former”; NAB “greater will be the future glory.” |
| (0.35) | (Hag 1:4) | 1 sn Richly paneled houses. Paneling is otherwise known in the OT only in connection with the temple (1 Kgs 6:9) and the royal palace (2 Kgs 7:3, 7). It implies decoration and luxury (cf. NCV “fancy houses”; TEV “well-built houses”; NLT “luxurious houses”). The impropriety of the people living in such lavish accommodations while the temple lay unfinished is striking. |
| (0.35) | (Hos 9:15) | 1 tn Heb “out of my house” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV, NCV, and NLT have “my land.” |
| (0.35) | (Hos 5:1) | 1 tn Heb “O house of Israel” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV); cf. NLT “all of Israel’s leaders.” |
| (0.35) | (Eze 29:13) | 1 sn In Ezek 4:4-8 it was said that the house of Judah would suffer 40 years. |
| (0.35) | (Eze 11:3) | 2 sn The expression build houses may mean “establish families” (Deut 25:9; Ruth 4:11; Prov 24:27). |

| (0.35) | (Jer 39:14) | 2 tn Heb “to bring him into the house.” However, it is unclear whether “the house” refers to Jeremiah’s house or to Gedaliah’s. The fact that Nebuzaradan later offers Jeremiah the option of going back to Gedaliah (40:5) suggests it is Gedaliah’s house, where Jeremiah would be looked out for in accord with Nebuchadnezzar’s command (v. 12). |
| (0.35) | (Isa 58:1) | 2 tn Heb “and to the house of Jacob their sin.” The verb “declare” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line). |
| (0.35) | (Isa 44:13) | 5 tn Heb “like the glory of man to sit [in] a house”; NIV “that it may dwell in a shrine.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 39:2) | 2 tn Heb “there was nothing which Hezekiah did not show them in his house and in all his kingdom.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 37:31) | 1 tn Heb “The remnant of the house of Judah that is left will add roots below and produce fruit above.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 22:15) | 1 tn Heb “who is over the house” (so ASV); NASB “who is in charge of the royal household.” |
| (0.35) | (Isa 8:14) | 2 sn The two “houses” of Israel (= the patriarch Jacob) are the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. |
| (0.35) | (Pro 24:27) | 2 sn If the term “house” is understood literally, the proverb would mean that one should be financially secure before building a house (cf. NLT). If “house” is figurative for household (metonymy of subject: children or family), the proverb would mean that one should have financial security and provision before starting a family. Some English versions suggest the latter meaning by using the word “home” for “house” (e.g., TEV, CEV). |
