[2:33]  ¹ tc The LXX, a Qumran ms, and a few old Latin mss have the third person pronominal suffix “his” here.

[2:33]  ² tn Heb “to cause your eyes to fail.” Elsewhere this verb, when used of eyes, refers to bloodshot eyes resulting from weeping, prolonged staring, or illness (see Lev 26:16; Pss 69:3; 119:82; Lam 2:11; 4:17).

[2:33]  ³ tn Heb “and to cause your soul grief.”

[2:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “and all the increase of your house.”

[2:33]  ⁵ tc The text is difficult. The MT literally says “they will die [as] men.” Apparently the meaning is that they will be cut off in the prime of their life without reaching old age. The LXX and a Qumran ms, however, have the additional word “sword” (“they will die by the sword of men”). This is an easier reading (cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV, CEV, NLT), but that fact is not in favor of its originality.

[12:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “sold” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NAB “he allowed them to fall into the clutches of Sisera”; NLT “he let them be conquered by Sisera.”

[12:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “captain of the host of Hazor.”

[15:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”

[15:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:23]  ¹¹ tn Or “from [being].”

[15:24]  ¹² tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”

[15:24]  ¹³ tn Heb “and your words.”
