[1:15]  ¹ tn Heb “young men.”

[10:16]  ² tn Heb “and Hadadezer sent and brought out Aram which is.”

[10:16]  ³ tn Heb “from beyond the River.” The name “Euphrates” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[10:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “was before them.”

[13:36]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they lifted their voice and wept.”

[13:36]  ⁶ tn Heb “with a great weeping.”

[14:4]  ⁷ tc The translation follows many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וַתַּבֹא (vattavo’, “and she went”) rather than the MT וַתֹּאמֶר (vatto’mer, “and she said”). The MT reading shows confusion with וַתֹּאמֶר later in the verse. The emendation suggested here is supported by the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, some mss of the Targum, and Vulgate.

[14:4]  ⁸ tn The word “me” is left to be inferred in the Hebrew text; it is present in the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate.

[17:22]  ⁹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text here or in v. 24, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “take.”

[19:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in peace.”

[19:36]  ¹² tn Heb “Like a little your servant will cross the Jordan with the king.”

[19:40]  ¹³ tn The MT in this instance alone spells the name with final ן (nun, “Kimhan”) rather than as elsewhere with final ם (mem, “Kimham”). As in most other translations, the conventional spelling (with ם) has been used here to avoid confusion.

[19:40]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “people.”

[19:40]  ¹⁵ tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading the Hiphil verb הֶעֱבִירוּ (he’eviru, “they caused to pass over”) rather than the Qal verb וַיְעֱבִרוּ (vay’ÿviru, “they crossed over”) of the MT.
