| (0.25) | (Jdg 11:10) | 2 sn The Lord will judge…if we do not do as you say. The statement by the leaders of Gilead takes the form of a legally binding oath, which obligates them to the terms of the agreement. |
| (0.25) | (Jdg 8:15) | 2 sn Gideon changes their actual statement (see v. 6) by saying exhausted men rather than “army.” In this way he emphasizes the crisis his men were facing and highlights the insensitivity of the men of Sukkoth. |
| (0.25) | (Deu 4:16) | 1 tn The words “I say this” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text v. 16 is subordinated to “Be careful” in v. 15, but this makes for an unduly long sentence in English. |
| (0.25) | (Num 30:12) | 1 tn The verb is the imperfect tense in the conditional clause. It is intensified with the infinitive absolute, which would have the force of saying that he nullified them unequivocally, or he made them null and void. |

| (0.25) | (Num 15:26) | 1 tn Again, rather than translate literally “and it shall be forgiven [to] them” (all the community), one could say, “they (all the community) will be forgiven.” The meaning is the same. |
| (0.25) | (Num 10:7) | 1 tn There is no expressed subject in the initial temporal clause. It simply says, “and in the assembling the assembly.” But since the next verb is the second person of the verb, that may be taken as the intended subject here. |
| (0.25) | (Num 7:5) | 5 tn The expression כְּפִי (kefi) is “according to the mouth of.” Here, it would say “according to the mouth of his service,” which would mean “what his service calls for.” |

| (0.25) | (Exo 37:21) | 1 tn As in Exod 26:35, the translation of “first” and “next” and “third” is interpretive because the text simply says “under two branches” in each of three places. |
| (0.25) | (Exo 32:35) | 2 sn Most commentators have difficulty with this verse. W. C. Kaiser says the strict chronology is not always kept, and so the plague here may very well refer to the killing of the three thousand (“Exodus,” EBC 2:481). |
