[2:11]  ¹ tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 12). Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.

[18:18]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:7]  ³ tn Heb “and now let the terror of the Lord be upon you, be careful and act for there is not with the Lord our God injustice, lifting up of a face, and taking a bribe.”

[20:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “for there.”

[20:26]  ⁵ sn The name Berachah, which means “blessing” in Hebrew, is derived from the verbal root “to praise [or “to bless”],” which appears earlier in the verse.

[25:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “seeking,” perhaps in the sense of “consulting [an oracle from].”

[25:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “the gods of the people.”

[25:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “hand.”

[32:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “and from the hand of all.”

[32:22]  ¹⁰ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “and he led him from all around.” However, the present translation assumes an emendation to וַיָּנַח לָהֶם מִסָּבִיב (vayyanakh lahem missaviv, “and he gave rest to them from all around”). See 2 Chr 15:15 and 20:30.

[32:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “was sick to the point of dying.”

[32:24]  ¹² tn Heb “and he spoke to him and a sign he gave to him.”
