Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Jdg 18:27) | 2 tn The Hebrew adds “with fire.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons because it is redundant in English. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 18:1) | 2 tn Heb “because there had not fallen to them by that day in the midst of the tribes of Israel an inheritance.” |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 11:31) | 2 tn The language is fluid enough to include women and perhaps even animals, but the translation uses the masculine pronoun because the Hebrew form is grammatically masculine. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 7:25) | 1 sn The names Oreb and Zeeb, which mean “Raven” and “Wolf” respectively, are appropriate because the Midianites had been like scavengers and predators to Israel. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 5:6) | 1 tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (ʾorekhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (ʾorakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 23:5) | 1 tn The Hebrew text reads, “from before you.” This has not been included in the translation because it is redundant in English. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 17:12) | 1 tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 10:24) | 1 tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 5:1) | 2 tn Heb “their heart[s] melted and there was no longer in them breath (or perhaps “spirit”) because of the sons of Israel.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:11) | 1 tn Heb “And we heard and our heart[s] melted and there remained no longer breath in a man because of you.” |
| (0.30) | (Deu 33:28) | 1 tn Heb “all alone.” The idea is that such vital resources as water will some day no longer need protection because God will provide security. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 31:17) | 7 tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 31:17) | 9 tn Heb “me.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “us,” which is necessary in any case in the translation because of contemporary English style. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 3:17) | 3 sn Kinnereth. This is another name for the Sea of Galilee, so called because its shape is that of a harp (the Hebrew term for “harp” is כִּנּוֹר, kinnor). |
| (0.30) | (Num 34:11) | 1 sn The word means “harp.” The lake (or sea) of Galilee was so named because it is shaped somewhat like a harp. |
| (0.30) | (Num 25:7) | 1 tn The first clause is subordinated to the second because both begin with the preterite verbal form, and there is clearly a logical and/or chronological sequence involved. |
| (0.30) | (Num 23:23) | 2 tn The ASV says “with Jacob,” but most translations use “against” (both are theoretically possible) because of the context, esp. v. 20. |
| (0.30) | (Num 23:8) | 1 tn The figure is erotesis, a rhetorical question. He is actually saying he cannot curse them because God has not cursed them. |
| (0.30) | (Num 10:9) | 2 tn The Niphal perfect in this passage has the passive nuance and not a reflexive idea—the Israelites would be spared because God remembered them. |
| (0.30) | (Num 6:11) | 6 tn The verb simply means “to consecrate,” but because it refers to a vow that was interrupted, it must here mean to “reconsecrate.” |
