Ashkenaz, Riphath, ³  and Togarmah.

[25:7]  ¹ tn Heb “were killed before his eyes.”

[25:7]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:6]  ³ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX and Vulgate, read “Riphath” (see Gen 10:3). This is followed by several English translations (e.g., NAB, NIV, NLT), while others (e.g., ASV, NASB, NRSV) follow the MT reading (“Diphath”).
