[4:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and they fled, each to his tents.”

[4:12]  ² tn Or perhaps, “the same day.” On this use of the demonstrative pronoun see Joüon 2:532 §143.f.

[13:12]  ³ tn Heb “said.”

[13:12]  ⁴ tn Or “I forced myself” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV, CEV); NAB “So in my anxiety I offered”; NIV “I felt compelled.”

[14:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they mustered the troops, and look!”

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “what Amalek did to Israel, how he placed against him.”

[15:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:23]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to these words.”

[17:48]  ⁹ tc Most LXX mss lack the second half of v. 48.

[29:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “passing by with respect to hundreds and thousands.” This apparently describes a mustering of troops for the purpose of inspection and readiness.

[29:11]  ¹¹ tc Heb “to go in the morning to return.” With the exception of Origen and the Lucianic recension, the Old Greek tradition lacks the phrase “in the morning.” The Syriac Peshitta also omits it.
