Footnotes

  1. 116 Grk “And.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
  2. 117 Grk “In those days.”
  3. 118 Or “a bull calf” (see Exod 32:4–6). The term μοσχοποιέω (moschopoieō) occurs only in Christian writings according to
  4. 119 Grk “and brought,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  5. 120 The imperfect verb εὐφραίνοντο (euphrainonto) has been translated ingressively. See εὐφραίνω 2.
  6. 121 Or “in what they had done.”
