Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Jon 1:12) | 2 sn Heb “on my account.” Jonah and the sailors appear to show dialectical sensitivity to each other in how they say this. See the note at v. 8. |
| (0.30) | (Amo 9:12) | 3 tn Heb “nations over whom my name is proclaimed.” The Hebrew idiom indicates ownership, sometimes as a result of conquest. See 2 Sam 12:28. |
| (0.30) | (Amo 2:7) | 6 tn Heb “my holy name.” Here “name” is used metonymically for God’s moral character or reputation, while “holy” has a moral and ethical connotation. |
