Ge 3:22; Ge 6:5; Ge 8:21; Ge 9:19; Ge 11:1; Jud 10:14; 1Ki 18:27; Ps 2:1-4; Ec 11:9; Lu 1:51; Ac 17:26

¹ tn Heb “and one lip to all of them.”

² tn Heb “and now.” The foundational clause beginning with הֵן (hen) expresses the condition, and the second clause the result. It could be rendered “If this…then now.”

³ tn Heb “all that they purpose to do will not be withheld from them.”
