Appeal to a Higher Court

[2:12]  ¹ sn Horites. Most likely these are the same as the well-known people of ancient Near Eastern texts described as Hurrians. They were geographically widespread and probably non-Semitic. Genesis speaks of them as the indigenous peoples of Edom that Esau expelled (Gen 36:8-19, 31-43) and also as among those who confronted the kings of the east (Gen 14:6).

[2:12]  ² tn Most modern English versions, beginning with the ASV (1901), regard vv. 10-12 as parenthetical to the narrative.

[4:3]  ³ tc The LXX and Syriac read “to Baal Peor,” that is, the god worshiped at that place; see note on the name “Beth Peor” in Deut 3:29.

[4:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[4:3]  ⁵ tn Or “followed the Baal of Peor” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV), referring to the pagan god Baal.

[11:6]  ⁶ sn Dathan and Abiram. These two (along with others) had challenged Moses’ leadership in the desert with the result that the earth beneath them opened up and they and their families disappeared (Num 16:1-3, 31-35).

[11:6]  ⁷ tn Or “the descendant of Reuben”; Heb “son of Reuben.”

[11:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the midst of all Israel” (so KJV, ASV, NRSV); NASB “among all Israel.” In the Hebrew text these words appear at the end of the verse, but they are logically connected with the verbs. To make this clear the translation places the phrase after the first verb.

[11:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “their houses,” referring to all who lived in their household. Cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “households.”

[11:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and all the substance which was at their feet.”

[17:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “between blood and blood.”

[17:8]  ¹² tn Heb “between claim and claim.”

[17:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “between blow and blow.”

[17:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gates.”

[17:8]  ¹⁵ tc Several Greek recensions add “to place his name there,” thus completing the usual formula to describe the central sanctuary (cf. Deut 12:5, 11, 14, 18; 16:6). However, the context suggests that the local Levitical towns, and not the central sanctuary, are in mind.

[19:15]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “rise up” (likewise in v. 16).

[19:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “may stand.”

[29:29]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); KJV, ASV, NIV, NRSV “children.”
