1 tn Heb “for it was the great high place.”
2 tn The verb form is an imperfect, which is probably used here in a customary sense to indicate continued or repeated action in past time. See GKC 314 §107.b.
3 tn Heb “the God” (the phrase occurs twice in this verse).
5 tn Heb “When he heard this word.”
6 tn Heb “in the temporary shelters.” This is probably referring to tents.
