[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name.

[4:17]  ² tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”

[4:34]  ³ tn The words “their clan leaders were” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 38a, which makes this clear.

[6:57]  ⁴ tn The parallel account in Josh 21:13 has the singular “city,” which apparently refers only to Hebron.

[10:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Saul died because of his unfaithfulness by which he acted unfaithfully against the Lord, concerning the word of the Lord which he did not keep, also to Saul, a ritual pit to seek.” The text alludes to the incident recorded in 1 Sam 28. The Hebrew term אוֹב (’ov, “ritual pit”) refers to a pit used by a magician to conjure up underworld spirits. In 1 Sam 28:7 the witch of Endor is called a בַּעֲלַת־אוֹב (ba’alat-’ov, “owner of a ritual pit”). See H. A. Hoffner, “Second Millennium Antecedents to the Hebrew áo‚b,” JBL 86 (1967): 385-401.

[12:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “ones armed with bow[s], using the right hand and the left hand with stones and with arrows with the bow, from the brothers of Saul from Benjamin.”

[12:2]  ⁷ tn The words “These were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons, because of the length of the intervening material since the beginning of the verse.

[12:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “one for a hundred the small, and the great for a thousand.” Another option is to translate the preposition -לְ (lamed) as “against” and to understand this as a hyperbolic reference to their prowess: “the least could stand against a hundred, the greatest against a thousand.”

[21:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ¹⁰ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ¹² tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[22:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “as he spoke concerning you.”

[24:20]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Belonging to the rest of the sons of Levi.”

[24:20]  ¹⁵ tn This appears to be a variant of the name Shebuel (cf. 1 Chr 23:16 and 26:24).

[26:20]  ¹⁶ tn Or “treasuries.”

[27:24]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”

[27:24]  ¹⁸ tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).

[28:12]  ¹⁹ tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:12]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the pattern of all which was in the spirit with him.”

[28:13]  ²¹ tn The words “he gave him the regulations” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[29:9]  ²² tn Heb “with a complete heart.”

[29:9]  ²³ tn Heb “was rejoiced with great joy.”

[29:15]  ²⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 18, 20).

[29:15]  ²⁵ tn Or perhaps “hope.”
