Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Rut 1:13) | 3 tn The negative is used here in an elliptical manner for emphasis (see HALOT 48 s.v. I אַל; GKC 479-80 §152.g). |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 21:15) | 2 tn Heb “had made a gaping hole in.” The narrator uses imagery that compares Israel to a wall that has been breached. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 21:11) | 2 tn Heb “a knower of the bed of a male.” The verb יָדָע (yadaʿ) “to know,” “be intimate with,” is used as a euphemism for sexual relations. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 15:18) | 2 tn Heb “the hand of uncircumcised.” “Hand” often represents power or control. “The uncircumcised [ones]” is used as a pejorative and in the context refers to the Philistines. |
| (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 6:28) | 1 tn Heb “look!” The narrator uses this word to invite his audience/readers to view the scene through the eyes of the men. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 6:26) | 1 tn Possibly “in a row” or “in a layer,” perhaps referring to the arrangement of the stones used in the altar’s construction. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 6:23) | 1 tn Heb “Peace to you.” For a similar use of this idiom to introduce a reassuring word, see Gen 43:23. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 5:3) | 1 tn Heb “I, to the Lord, I, I will sing!” The first singular personal pronoun is used twice, even though a first person finite verbal form is employed. |
| (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 6:24) | 2 tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:24) | 1 tn Heb “Surely the Lord has given into our hand all the land.” The report by the spies uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 32:11) | 1 tn The prefixed verbal form is an imperfect, indicating habitual or typical behavior. The parallel verb (cf. “hovers” in the next line) is used in the same manner. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 23:19) | 1 tn Heb “to your brother” (likewise in the following verse). Since this is not limited to actual siblings, “fellow Israelite” is used in the translation (cf. NAB, NASB “countrymen”). |
| (0.30) | (Deu 23:2) | 2 tn Heb “enter the assembly of the Lord.” The phrase “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 23:3) | 3 tn Heb “enter the assembly of the Lord.” The phrase “do so” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 22:14) | 3 tn The expression קָרַב אֶל (qarav ʾel) means “draw near to” or “approach,” but is also used as a euphemism for the intended purpose of sexual relations. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 21:5) | 2 tn Heb “in the name of the Lord.” See note on Deut 10:8. The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 20:17) | 1 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation seeks to reflect with “utterly.” Cf. CEV “completely wipe out.” |
| (0.30) | (Deu 18:12) | 1 tn Heb “these abhorrent things.” The repetition is emphatic. For stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy, the same term used earlier in the verse has been translated “detestable” here. |
