[1:14]  ¹ tn Heb “But you must cross over armed for battle before your brothers, all [you] mighty men of strength.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “Go.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”

[2:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“you”) is not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

[7:5]  ⁵ tn The meaning and correct translation of the Hebrew word שְׁבָרִים (shÿvarim) is uncertain. The translation “fissures” is based on usage of the plural form of the noun in Ps 60:4 HT (60:2 ET), where it appears to refer to cracks in the earth caused by an earthquake. Perhaps deep ravines or gorges are in view, or the word is a proper noun (“all the way to Shebarim”).

[7:5]  ⁶ sn The precise geographical location of the Israelite defeat at this “steep slope” is uncertain.

[7:5]  ⁷ tn Or “army’s.”

[7:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the heart of the people melted and became water.”

[7:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “and cut off our name.”

[7:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “What will you do for your great name?”

[12:3]  ¹⁸ tn The words “his kingdom included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[12:3]  ¹⁹ sn The Sea of Kinnereth is another name for the Sea of Galilee. See the note on the word “Kinnereth” in 11:2.

[21:27]  ²⁶ tn The words “they assigned” and “the following cities” are supplied for clarification (also in v. 34).

[22:6]  ²⁷ tn Heb “blessed.” However, see v. 8, where rewards are given.

[22:6]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and they went to their tents.”

[24:32]  ²⁹ tn Heb “one hundred qesitahs.” The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qesitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value and/or weight is unknown. The word occurs only here and in Gen 33:19 and Job 42:11.

[24:32]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and they became for the sons of Joseph an inheritance.” One might think “bones” is the subject of the verb “they became,” but the verb is masculine, while “bones” is feminine. The translation follows the emendation suggested in the BHS note, which appeals to the Syriac and Vulgate for support. The emended reading understands “the part (of the field)” as the subject of the verb “became.” The emended verb is feminine singular; this agrees with “the part” (of the field), which is feminine in Hebrew.
