[16:7]  ² tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ³ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).

[15:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “and when he became king, he struck down all the house of Jeroboam; he did not leave any breath to Jeroboam until he destroyed him.”

[15:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.”
