[11:13]  ⁵ tc The LXX reads this statement as a question. Compare this to the question in 9:8. It is possible that the interrogative particle has been omitted by haplography. However, an exclamatory statement as in the MT also makes sense and the LXX may have simply tried to harmonize this passage with 9:8.

[16:47]  ⁶ tn Heb “walked in their ways.”

[16:47]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew expression has a temporal meaning as illustrated by the use of the phrase in 2 Chr 12:7.

[20:23]  ¹² tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[20:23]  ¹³ sn Though the Pentateuch does not seem to know of this episode, Ps 106:26-27 may speak of God’s oath to exile the people before they had entered Canaan.

[23:32]  ¹⁴ sn The image of a deep and wide cup suggests the degree of punishment; it will be extensive and leave the victim helpless.
