Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Jdg 14:3) | 3 tn “Her” is first in the Hebrew word order for emphasis. Samson wanted this Philistine girl, no one else. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 357. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 5:26) | 1 tn The adjective “left” is interpretive, based on the context. Note that the next line pictures Jael holding the hammer with her right hand. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:1) | 3 tn Heb “they went and entered the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name was Rahab, and they slept there.” |
| (0.30) | (Num 36:3) | 1 tn “Men” is understood; it says “to one from the sons of the tribes of the Israelites for a wife,” or if he has her for a wife. |
| (0.30) | (Num 30:3) | 2 tn The Hebrew text just has “in her father’s house” and not “who is still living,” but that is the meaning of the line. |
| (0.30) | (Num 12:13) | 1 tc Some scholars emend אֵל (ʾel, “God”) to עַל (ʿal, “no”). The effect of this change may be seen in the NAB: “Please, not this! Pray, heal her!” |
| (0.30) | (Lev 18:9) | 3 tc Several medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Syriac have “her nakedness” rather than “their nakedness,” thus agreeing with singular “sister” at the beginning of the verse. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 39:17) | 2 sn That Hebrew slave. Now, when speaking to her husband, Potiphar’s wife refers to Joseph as a Hebrew slave, a very demeaning description. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 39:14) | 2 sn A Hebrew man. Potiphar’s wife raises the ethnic issue when talking to her servants about what their boss had done. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 38:2) | 3 tn Heb “went to her.” The expression בּוֹא אֶל (boʾ ʾel) means “come to” or “approach,” but is also used as a euphemism for sexual relations. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 30:15) | 1 tn Heb “and she said to her”; the referent of the pronoun “she” (Leah) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 30:6) | 1 tn Heb “and also he has heard my voice.” The expression means that God responded positively to Rachel’s cry and granted her request. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 30:3) | 4 tn Heb “upon my knees.” This is an idiomatic way of saying that Bilhah will be simply a surrogate mother. Rachel will adopt the child as her own. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 29:24) | 1 tn Heb “and Laban gave to her Zilpah his female servant, to Leah his daughter [for] a servant.” This clause gives information parenthetical to the narrative. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 24:22) | 3 tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied (cf. Gen 24:30). |
| (0.30) | (Gen 21:19) | 1 tn Heb “And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.” The referent (Hagar) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 16:15) | 1 sn Whom Abram named Ishmael. Hagar must have informed Abram of what the angel had told her. See the note on the name “Ishmael” in 16:11. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 16:7) | 2 tn Heb “And the angel of the Lord found her near the spring of water in the desert, near the spring on the way to Shur.” |
| (0.28) | (Rev 18:18) | 2 tn Grk “from the burning of her, saying.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burned her up,” see L&N 14.63. Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes, “saying”) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English. |
| (0.28) | (Luk 1:35) | 1 tn Grk “And the angel said to her.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. The pronoun αὐτῇ (autē, “to her”) has not been included in the translation since it is redundant in contemporary English. |
