Discovery Box| (0.30) | (1Sa 12:11) | 1 sn Jerub Baal (יְרֻבַּעַל, “Yerub Baʿal”) is also known as Gideon (see Judg 6:32). The book of Judges uses both names for him. |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 10:2) | 1 sn In the Hebrew text the pronoun you is plural, suggesting that Saul’s father was concerned about his son and the servant who accompanied him. |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 9:13) | 1 tc The MT has “him” (אֹתוֹ, ʾoto) here, in addition to the “him” at the end of the verse. The ancient versions attest to only one occurrence of the pronoun, although it is possible that this is due to translation technique rather than to their having a Hebrew text with the pronoun used only once. The present translation assumes textual duplication in the MT and does not attempt to represent the pronoun twice. However, for a defense of the MT here, with the suggested translation “for him just now—you will find him,” see S. R. Driver, Notes on the Hebrew Text and the Topography of the Books of Samuel, 72-73. |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 2:16) | 5 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss (“no”) rather than the MT’s Kethib, which reads “to him.” |
| (0.30) | (Rut 3:7) | 5 tn The words “beside him” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. Cf. TEV “at his feet”; CEV “near his feet.” |
| (0.30) | (Rut 3:7) | 3 sn Ruth must have waited until Boaz fell asleep, for he does not notice when she uncovers his legs and lies down beside him. |
| (0.30) | (Rut 1:2) | 1 sn The name “Elimelech” literally means “My God [is] king.” The narrator’s explicit identification of his name seems to cast him in a positive light. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 11:23) | 3 tn Heb “will you dispossess him [i.e., Israel; or possibly “it,” i.e., the territory]?” There is no interrogative marker in the Hebrew text. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 6:32) | 1 tn Heb “He called him on that day Jerub Baal.” The name means, at least by popular etymology, “Let Baal fight” or “Let Baal defend himself.” |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 6:24) | 1 tn Heb “The Lord is peace.” Gideon’s name for the altar plays on the Lord’s reassuring words to him, “Peace to you.” |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 2:20) | 4 tn Heb “and has not listened to my voice.” The expression “to not listen to [God’s] voice” is idiomatic here for disobeying him. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 11:7) | 1 tn Heb “Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them at the Waters of Merom suddenly and fell upon them.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 10:7) | 1 tn Heb “And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the brave warriors.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 6:27) | 1 tn Heb “and the report about him was in all the land.” The Hebrew term אֶרֶץ (ʾerets, “land”) may also be translated “earth.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:19) | 2 tn Heb “But anyone who is with you in the house, his blood is on our head if a hand should be on him.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:4) | 1 tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p). |
| (0.30) | (Deu 31:20) | 1 tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 31:21) | 3 tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 31:21) | 8 tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16. |
