| (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 14:3) | 3 tn “Her” is first in the Hebrew word order for emphasis. Samson wanted this Philistine girl, no one else. See C. F. Burney, Judges, 357. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 13:14) | 2 tn Heb “eat anything unclean.” Certain foods were regarded as ritually “unclean” (see Lev 11). Eating such food made one ritually “contaminated.” |

| (0.30) | (Jdg 9:22) | 1 tn The Hebrew verb translated “commanded” (שָׂרַר, sarar), which appears only here in Judges, differs from the ones employed earlier in this chapter (מָשַׁל [mashal] and מָלַךְ [malakh]). |
| (0.30) | (Jos 24:17) | 2 tn Heb “for the Lord our God, he is the one who brought up us and our fathers from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 20:4) | 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the one who accidentally kills another, cf. v. 2) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 7:1) | 4 sn This incident illustrates well the principle of corporate solidarity and corporate guilt. The sin of one man brought the Lord’s anger down upon the entire nation. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 7:1) | 2 tn 1 Chr 2:6 lists a “Zimri” (but no Zabdi) as one of the five sons of Zerah (cf. also Josh 7:17, 18). |
| (0.30) | (Jos 3:13) | 4 tn Heb “the waters of the Jordan, the waters descending from above, will be cut off so that they will stand in one pile.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 2:22) | 3 tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause. |

| (0.30) | (Deu 25:13) | 2 tn Heb “a large and a small,” but since the issue is the weight, “a heavy and a light one” conveys the idea better in English. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 24:4) | 2 sn The issue here is not divorce and its grounds per se but prohibition of remarriage to a mate whom one has previously divorced. |
| (0.30) | (Deu 18:11) | 4 tn Heb “a seeker of the dead.” This is much the same as “one who conjures up spirits” (cf. 1 Sam 28:6-7). |
| (0.30) | (Deu 13:1) | 1 tn Heb “or a dreamer of dreams” (so KJV, ASV, NASB). The difference between a prophet (נָבִיא, naviʾ) and one who foretells by dreams (חֹלֵם, kholem) was not so much one of office—for both received revelation by dreams (cf. Num 12:6)—as it was of function or emphasis. The prophet was more a proclaimer and interpreter of revelation whereas the one who foretold by dreams was a receiver of revelation. In later times the role of the one who foretold by dreams was abused and thus denigrated as compared to that of the prophet (cf. Jer 23:28). |
