Discovery Box| (0.59) | (Col 2:18) | 1 tn Though the apostle uses the term ταπεινοφροσύνῃ (tapeinophrosunē) elsewhere in a positive sense (cf. 3:12), here and in v. 23 the sense is negative and reflects the misguided thinking of Paul’s opponents. |
| (0.59) | (Luk 8:46) | 1 tn This is a consummative perfect. Jesus sensed that someone had approached him to be healed, as his reference to power makes clear. The perception underlies Jesus’ prophetic sense as well. |
| (0.59) | (Nah 2:2) | 4 tn Or “for.” The introductory particle כִּי (ki) may be causal (“because”), explanatory (“for”), or concessive (“although”). KJV adopts the causal sense (“For”), while the concessive sense (“Although”) is adopted by NASB, NIV, NJPS, NRSV. |
| (0.59) | (Dan 11:8) | 1 tn The Hebrew preposition מִן (min) is used here with the verb עָמַד (ʿamad, “to stand”). It probably has a sense of separation (“stand away from”), although it may also be understood in an adversative sense (“stand against”). |
| (0.59) | (Ecc 7:1) | 7 tn The article prefixed to הַמָּוֶת (hammavet, “death”) probably functions in an indefinite possessive sense or in a generic sense: “one’s death,” e.g., Gen 44:2 (see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 19, §86, §92). |
| (0.59) | (Pro 5:6) | 1 tc The LXX and other versions read “not” instead of “lest.” This may be an effort to make sense of the unusual syntax, or perhaps the MT has been corrupted. The general sense is the same in either case. |
| (0.59) | (Job 31:8) | 2 tn The word means “what sprouts up” (from יָצָא [yatsaʾ] with the sense of “sprout forth”). It could refer metaphorically to children (and so Kissane and Pope), as well as in its literal sense of crops. The latter fits here perfectly. |
| (0.59) | (Job 17:1) | 1 tn The verb חָבַל (khaval, “to act badly”) in the Piel means “to ruin.” The Pual translation with “my spirit” as the subject means “broken” in the sense of finished (not in the sense of humbled as in Ps 51). |
| (0.59) | (Job 6:16) | 1 tn The article on the participle joins this statement to the preceding noun; it can have the sense of “they” or “which.” The parallel sense then can be continued with a finite verb (see GKC 404 §126.b). |
| (0.59) | (1Sa 3:13) | 2 tn The translation understands the preposition to have a causal sense. However, the preposition could also be understood as the beth pretii, indicating in a broad sense the price attached to this action. So GKC 380 §119.p. |
| (0.59) | (Num 16:27) | 1 tn The verb נִצָּבִים (nitsavim) suggests a defiant stance, for the word is often used in the sense of taking a stand for or against something. It can also be somewhat neutral, having the sense of positioning oneself for a purpose. |
| (0.58) | (Rev 18:1) | 1 tn Grk “glory”; but often in the sense of splendor, brightness, or radiance (see L&N 14.49). |
| (0.58) | (Rev 16:10) | 7 tn The preposition ἐκ (ek) has been translated here and twice in the following verse with a causal sense. |
| (0.58) | (Rev 9:6) | 2 tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used in a generic sense here of both men and women. |
| (0.58) | (Rev 9:5) | 7 tn Grk “a man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used here in an individualized sense without being limited to the male gender. |
| (0.58) | (Rev 9:4) | 3 tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used in a generic sense here of both men and women. |
| (0.58) | (Rev 2:23) | 3 tn Grk “I will give.” The sense of δίδωμι (didōmi) in this context is more “repay” than “give.” |
| (0.58) | (1Pe 4:8) | 1 tn The primary verb of v. 8 is a participle (“having”) but it continues the sense of command from v. 7. |
| (0.58) | (Phm 1:1) | 3 tn The word “our” is not present in the Greek text, but was supplied to bring out the sense in English. |
| (0.58) | (2Ti 3:17) | 2 tn This word is positioned for special emphasis; it carries the sense of “complete, competent, able to meet all demands.” |
