Discovery Box| (0.35) | (Exo 5:16) | 2 tn הִנֵּה (hinneh) draws attention to the action reflected in the passive participle מֻכִּים (mukkim): “look, your servants are being beaten.” |
| (0.35) | (Exo 5:23) | 3 tn Heb “your people.” The pronoun (“them”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons here, to avoid redundancy. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 35:11) | 2 tn Heb “A nation and a company of nations will be from you and kings from your loins will come out.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 33:10) | 4 tn Heb “for therefore I have seen your face like seeing the face of God and you have accepted me.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 31:37) | 2 tn Heb “your relatives.” The word “relatives” has not been repeated in the translation here for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.35) | (Gen 19:21) | 2 tn Heb “I have lifted up your face [i.e., shown you favor] also concerning this matter.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 17:15) | 1 tn Heb “[As for] Sarai your wife, you must not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [will be] her name.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 17:10) | 1 tn Heb “This is my covenant that you must keep between me and you and your descendants after you.” |
| (0.35) | (Gen 13:15) | 1 tn Heb “for all the land which you see to you I will give it and to your descendants.” |
| (0.35) | (Oba 1:7) | 5 tn Heb “your bread,” which makes little sense in the context. The Hebrew word can be revocalized to read, “those who eat bread with you,” i.e., “your friends” (cf. KJV “they that eat thy bread,” NIV “those who eat your bread,” TEV “Those friends who ate with you”). |
| (0.35) | (Dan 9:16) | 2 tn Heb “your anger and your rage.” The synonyms are joined here to emphasize the degree of God’s anger. This is best expressed in English by making one of the terms adjectival (cf. NLT “your furious anger”; CEV “terribly angry”). |
| (0.35) | (Lam 3:20) | 3 tn Heb “my soul…” or “your soul…” The term נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, “my soul”) is used as a synecdoche of part (= my soul) for the whole person (= I). Likewise, נַפְשֶׁךָ (nafshekha, “your soul”) is also a synecdoche of part (= your soul) for the whole person (= you). |
| (0.35) | (Pro 23:5) | 1 tc The Kethib is הֲתָעוּף (hataʿuf), “do your eyes fly [light] on it?” The Qere is the Hiphil, הֲתָעִיף (hataʿif) “do you cause your eyes to fly on it?” But the line is difficult. The question may be indirect: If you cast your eyes on it, it is gone—when you think you are close, it slips away. |
| (0.35) | (Pro 7:1) | 3 sn The idea here is to study to be prepared. It is the opposite of the idea of getting in a difficult situation and then looking for something in the Bible to apply to your life. This verse is about applying your life to biblical wisdom and being prepared for situations that may come your way. |
| (0.35) | (Pro 2:1) | 5 sn The idea here is to study to be prepared. It is the opposite of the idea of getting in a difficult situation and then looking for something in the Bible to apply to your life. This verse is about applying your life to biblical wisdom and being prepared for situations that may come your way. |
| (0.35) | (Psa 119:52) | 1 tn Heb “I remember your regulations from of old.” The prepositional phrase “from of old” apparently modifies “your regulations,” alluding to the fact that God revealed them to Israel in the distant past. Another option is to understand the prepositional phrase as modifying the verb, in which case one might translate, “I have long remembered your regulations.” |
| (0.35) | (Psa 80:17) | 1 tn Heb “may your hand be upon the man of your right hand.” The referent of the otherwise unattested phrase “man of your right hand,” is unclear. It may refer to the nation collectively as a man. (See the note on the word “yourself” in v. 17b.) |
| (0.35) | (Psa 74:11) | 1 tn Heb “Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? From the midst of your chest, destroy!” The psalmist pictures God as having placed his right hand (symbolic of activity and strength) inside his robe against his chest. He prays that God would pull his hand out from under his robe and use it to destroy the enemy. |
| (0.35) | (Psa 45:16) | 2 tn The prefixed verbal form could be taken as jussive and the statement interpreted as a prayer, “May your sons carry on the dynasty of your ancestors!” The next line could then be taken as a relative clause, “[your sons] whom you will make princes throughout the land.” |
| (0.35) | (Psa 21:6) | 1 tn Heb “you make him happy with joy with [i.e., “close by” or “in”] your face.” On the idiom “with your face” (i.e., “in your presence”) see Ps 16:11 and BDB 816 s.v. פָּנֻה II.2.a. |
