[6:6]  ¹ tn Heb “like Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their heart.”

[6:6]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:6]  ³ tn Heb “and they sent them away and they went.”

[8:12]  ⁴ tc The numbers of v. 12 are confused in the Greek and Syriac versions. For “fifties” the LXX has “hundreds.” The Syriac Peshitta has “heads of thousands and heads of hundreds and heads of fifties and heads of tens,” perhaps reflecting influence from Deut 1:15.

[14:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the Hebrews were to the Philistines formerly, who went up with them in the camp all around.”

[14:32]  ¹⁰ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading “and they rushed greedily upon,” rather than the Kethib, “and they did.”

[14:32]  ¹¹ tc The translation reads with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss הַשָּׁלָל (hashalal, “the spoil”) rather than following the Kethib reading, שָׁלָל (shalal, “spoil”).

[18:30]  ¹³ tc Verse 30 is absent in most LXX mss.

[30:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “stood.” So also in v. 10.
