| NET © Notes |
1 tn Or perhaps, “guard posts.” 2 sn The iron gate shows how important security was here. This door was more secure than one made of wood (which would be usual). 3 tn Grk “which.” The relative pronoun (“which”) was replaced by the pronoun “it,” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek. 4 tn The Greek term here, αὐτομάτη (automath), indicates something that happens without visible cause (BDAG 152 s.v. αὐτόματος). 5 tn Or “lane,” “alley” (BDAG 907 s.v. ῥύμη). |
