Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Lev 22:20) | 2 tn Heb “not for acceptance shall it be for you”; NIV “it will not be accepted on your behalf” (NRSV and NLT both similar). |
| (0.30) | (Lev 18:20) | 1 tn Heb “And to the wife of your fellow citizen you shall not give your layer for seed.” The meaning of “your layer” (שְׁכָבְתְּךָ, shekhavtekha) is uncertain (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 122, “you shall not place your layer of semen”; but cf. also J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 283, and the literature cited there for understanding the term to refer to the male member). The Hebrew word שְׁכֹבֶת (shekhovet) is related to the noun מִשְׁכָּב (mishkav) “bed” and the verb שָׁכַב (shakhav) “to lie down,” which also acts as a euphemism for sexual relations. |

| (0.30) | (Lev 17:3) | 3 tn The original LXX adds “or the sojourners who sojourn in your midst” (cf. Lev 16:29, etc., and note esp. 17:8, 10, and 13 below). |
| (0.30) | (Lev 8:33) | 1 tn Heb “because seven days he shall fill your hands”; KJV “for seven days shall he consecrate you”; CEV “ends seven days from now.” |
| (0.30) | (Lev 7:26) | 1 tn Heb “and any blood you must not eat in any of your dwelling places, to the bird and to the animal.” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 33:15) | 2 tn The construction uses the active participle to stress the continual going of the presence: if there is not your face going. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 33:1) | 1 tn The two imperatives underscore the immediacy of the demand: “go, go up,” meaning “get going up” or “be on your way.” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 23:16) | 4 tn Heb “gathered in your labors.” This is a metonymy of cause put for the effect. “Labors” are not gathered in, but what the labors produced—the harvest. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 15:8) | 1 sn The phrase “the blast of your nostrils” is a bold anthropomorphic expression for the wind that came in and dried up the water. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 13:13) | 4 tn Heb “and every firstborn of man among your sons.” The addition of “man” is clearly meant to distinguish firstborn humans from animals. |
| (0.30) | (Exo 13:8) | 1 tn The form is the Hiphil perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive, carrying the sequence forward: “and you will declare to your son.” |
| (0.30) | (Exo 4:16) | 3 tn Heb “and it will be [that] he, he will be to you for a mouth,” or more simply, “he will be your mouth.” |

| (0.30) | (Gen 43:12) | 2 tn Heb “take back in your hand.” The imperfect verbal form probably has an injunctive or obligatory force here, since Jacob is instructing his sons. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 34:9) | 2 tn Heb “Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.” In the translation the words “let…marry” and “as wives” are supplied for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 28:4) | 3 tn Heb “the land of your sojournings,” that is, the land where Jacob had been living as a resident foreigner, as his future descendants would after him. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 27:20) | 4 tn Heb “and he said, ‘Because the Lord your God….’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
| (0.30) | (Gen 23:8) | 1 tn Heb “If it is with your purpose.” The Hebrew noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) here has the nuance “purpose” or perhaps “desire” (see BDB 661 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ). |
