NET Notes: Jdg 13:8

¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “and said.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “the man of God.”

³ tn Heb “come to.”

⁴ tc The LXX has “enlighten,” understanding the Hebrew to read וִיאִירֵנוּ (vi’irenu, “to give light”) rather than the reading of the MT, וְיוֹרֵנוּ (vÿyorenu, “to teach”).

⁵ tn Heb “what we should do for.”
