[8:4]  ² tn Heb “and they carried the ark of the Lord…. The priests and the Levites carried them.”

[8:41]  ³ tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[11:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”

[11:20]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.

KBL 183 s.v. גִלּוּלִים). It is only one of several terms used in this way, such as אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless things”) and הֲבָלִים (havalim, “vanities” or “empty winds”).

[21:26]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “He acted very abominably by walking after the disgusting idols, according to all which the Amorites had done.”
