| (0.35) | (Num 14:28) | 1 sn Here again is the oath that God swore in his wrath, an oath he swore by himself, that they would not enter the land. “As the Lord lives,” or “by the life of the Lord,” are ways to render it. |
| (0.35) | (Num 12:6) | 3 tn The Hebrew syntax is difficult here. “The Lord” is separated from the verb by two intervening prepositional phrases. Some scholars conclude that this word belongs with the verb at the beginning of v. 6 (“And the Lord spoke”). |
| (0.35) | (Num 12:2) | 4 sn The statement is striking. Obviously the Lord knows all things. But the statement of the obvious here is meant to indicate that the Lord was about to do something about this. |
| (0.35) | (Num 11:1) | 3 tn Heb “it was evil in the ears of the Lord.” The word רַע (raʿ) is a much stronger word than “displeased” would suggest. The bold anthropomorphism shows that what the Lord heard was painful to him. |
| (0.35) | (Num 5:21) | 5 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct with the preposition to form an adverbial clause: “in the giving of the Lord…,” meaning, “if and when the Lord makes such and such to happen.” |

| (0.35) | (Lev 9:24) | 1 tn Heb “from to the faces of the Lord.” The rendering here is based on the use of “my faces” and “your faces” referring to the very “presence” of the Lord in Exod 33:14-15. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 18:22) | 3 tc An ancient Hebrew scribal tradition reads “but the Lord remained standing before Abraham.” This reading is problematic because the phrase “standing before” typically indicates intercession, but the Lord would certainly not be interceding before Abraham. |
| (0.35) | (2Pe 3:9) | 2 tn Grk “not wishing.” The participle most likely has a causal force, explaining why the Lord is patient. |
| (0.35) | (Jam 2:7) | 1 tn Grk “that was invoked over you,” referring to their baptism in which they confessed their faith in Christ and were pronounced to be his own. To have the Lord’s name “named over them” is OT imagery for the Lord’s ownership of his people (cf. 2 Chr 7:14; Amos 9:12; Isa 63:19; Jer 14:9; 15:16; Dan 9:19; Acts 15:17). |

| (0.35) | (Luk 21:15) | 1 tn Grk “a mouth.” It is a metonymy and refers to the reply the Lord will give to them. |
| (0.35) | (Luk 12:42) | 1 tn Grk “And the Lord said.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. |
| (0.35) | (Luk 2:15) | 3 sn Note how although angels delivered the message, it was the Lord whose message is made known, coming through them. |
