[2:42] 1 tc Heb “and the sons of Mareshah,” but this does not fit contextually. Perhaps the text originally had וּבְנוֹ מִשְׁנֶה מָרֵשָׁה (uvÿno mishneh mareshah, “and his second son, Mareshah”), with מִשְׁנֶה (“second”) later accidentally falling out by homoioteleuton (cf. the note in BHS here).
[2:46] 2 sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.
[2:50] 3 tn Heb “son.” The Hebrew text has the singular, but the following list contains more than one name.
[2:50] 4 tn The Hebrew text reads “Ephrathah” here, but see v. 19, which mentions “Ephrath” as the wife of Hur.
