| (0.30) | (2Sa 5:10) | 1 tc 4QSama and the LXX lack the word “God,” probably due to harmonization with the more common biblical phrase “the Lord of hosts.” |
| (0.30) | (1Sa 25:39) | 2 tn Heb “his servant he has held back from evil, and the evil of Nabal the Lord has turned back on his head.” |
| (0.30) | (Rut 3:13) | 4 tn Heb “but if he does not want to redeem you, then I will redeem you, I, [as] the Lord lives” (NASB similar). |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 21:5) | 1 tn Heb “A great oath there was concerning the one who did not go up before the Lord at Mizpah, saying, ‘He must surely be put to death.’” |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 13:16) | 2 tn The words “he said this” are supplied in the translation for clarification. Manoah should have known from these words that the angel represented the Lord. In the preceding narrative the narrator has informed the reader that the visitor is the angel of the Lord, but Manoah and his wife did not perceive this. In vv. 5 and 7 the angel refers to “God” (אֱלֹהִים, ʾelohim), not the Lord (יְהוַה, yehvah). Manoah’s wife calls the visitor “a man sent from God” and “God’s angel” (v. 6), while Manoah prays to the “Lord” (אֲדוֹנָי, ʾadonay) and calls the visitor “a man sent from God” (v. 8). |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 11:10) | 1 tn Heb “The Lord will be the one who hears between us.” For the idiom שָׁמַע בַּיִן (shamaʿ bayin, “to hear between”), see Deut 1:16. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 11:11) | 1 tn Heb “spoke all his words.” This probably refers to the “words” recorded in v. 9. Jephthah repeats the terms of the agreement at the Lord’s sanctuary, perhaps to ratify the contract or to emphasize the Gileadites’ obligation to keep their part of the bargain. Another option is to translate, “Jephthah conducted business before the Lord in Mizpah.” In this case, the statement is a general reference to the way Jephthah ruled. He recognized the Lord’s authority and made his decisions before the Lord. |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 6:14) | 1 tc The LXX reads “the angel of the Lord” here and in v. 16. The translation follows the MT and adds “himself” to draw attention to the change. |
| (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) | (Jdg 3:4) | 1 tn Heb “to know if they would hear the commands of the Lord which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.” |
| (0.30) | (Jdg 2:10) | 3 tn Heb “that did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.” The expressions “personally experienced” and “seen” are interpretive. |
| (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 23:15) | 1 tn Heb “and it will be as every good word which the Lord your God spoke to you has come to pass.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 22:24) | 2 tn Heb “What is there to you and to the Lord God of Israel?” The rhetorical question is sarcastic in tone and anticipates a response, “Absolutely none!” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 22:22) | 4 tn Heb “do not save us.” The verb form is singular, being addressed to either collective Israel or the Lord himself. The LXX translates in the third person. |
| (0.30) | (Jos 21:45) | 2 tn Heb “not a word from all the good word which the Lord spoke to the house of Israel fell; the whole came to pass.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 22:2) | 1 tn Heb “You have kept all which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, and you have listened to my voice, to all which I commanded you.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 22:5) | 1 tn Heb “But be very careful to do the commandment and the law which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, to love.” |
| (0.30) | (Jos 14:6) | 1 tn Heb “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses, the man of God, because of me and because of you in Kadesh Barnea.” |
