1 tn Heb “for a gate and a gate,” i.e., for each gate.
2 tn Heb “one for a hundred the small, and the great for a thousand.” Another option is to translate the preposition -לְ (lamed) as “against” and to understand this as a hyperbolic reference to their prowess: “the least could stand against a hundred, the greatest against a thousand.”
3 tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”
