[5:27]  ¹ tn Heb “he fell.” The same Hebrew expression occurs two more times in this verse.

[5:27]  ² tn Heb “and he lay.

[5:27]  ³ tn Or “dead, murdered.”

[3:25]  ⁴ tn The words “the doors” are supplied.

[3:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “See, their master, fallen to the ground, dead.”

[19:27]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term here translated “master,” is plural. The plural indicates degree here and emphasizes the Levite’s absolute sovereignty over the woman.
