6:2 The sons of Kohath:
Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
1 tc The consonantal Hebrew text (Kethib) has, “Elkanah, his son, Elkanah.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “Elkanah, the sons of Elkanah.” The text probably originally read simply, “Elkanah his son.”
2 tn The Hebrew text adds “in her heart.”
3 tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”
4 tn Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”
