tn Heb “its daughters.” So also in vv. 27, 28, 30, and 31.

tn Heb “the sons of the singers.”

tc The translation reads מִשְּׂדֶי (missÿde, “from the fields”) rather than the MT reading לִשְׂדֵי (lisdey, “to the fields”).

tn Heb “for Judah.” The words “the people of” have been supplied in the translation for clarity, since “Judah” is a proper name as well as a place name.

tn Heb “standing.”
