[9:22]  ¹ sn Verses 22-27 appear to elaborate on v. 21b.

[9:22]  ² tn Heb “them.”

[9:22]  ³ tn Or “deceive.”

[9:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “live in our midst?”

[17:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “Why have you given me as an inheritance one lot and one portion, though I am a great people until [the time] which, until now the Lord has blessed me?” The construction עַד אֲשֶׁר־עַד־כֹּה (’ad-’asher-’ad-koh, “until [the time] which, until now”) is extremely awkward. An emendation of the first עַד (’ad) to עַל (’al) yields a more likely reading: “for until now” (see HALOT 2:787).

[7:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “said.”

[7:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “Why are you falling on your face?”

[9:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “took.” This probably means they tasted some of the food to make sure it was stale.

[9:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “but they did not ask the mouth of the Lord.” This refers to seeking the Lord’s will and guidance through an oracle.

[24:13]  ¹⁰ tn Or perhaps, “for.”

[24:13]  ¹¹ tn The words “the produce of” are supplied for clarification.

[22:23]  ¹² tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness…by building.”

[22:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

[22:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “or if to make.”

[22:23]  ¹⁵ tn Or “peace offerings.”

[22:23]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”

[2:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).

[2:4]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.

[22:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “What is this unfaithfulness with which you have been unfaithful against the God of Israel, turning today from after the Lord, when you built for yourselves an altar, rebelling today against the Lord?”
