[29:21]  ² tn The verb in this instance is Qal and not Piel, “to be holy” rather than “sanctify.” The result of all this ritual is that Aaron and his sons will be set aside and distinct in their life and their service.

[3:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “And Joshua arose early in the morning and he and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan.”

[3:1]  ⁵ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, have been supplied in the translation for clarity.
