¹ tn Heb “the guardian for my head.”

² tn Heb “all the days.”

³ tn Heb “their camps.”

⁴ tc The translation follows the LXX (εἰς πόλεμον, eis polemon) and a Qumran ms מלחמה במלחמה ([m]lkhmh) bammilkhamah (“in the battle”) rather than the MT’s בַמַּחֲנֶה (bammakhaneh, “in the camp”; cf. NASB). While the MT reading is not impossible here, and although admittedly it is the harder reading, the variant fits the context better. The MT can be explained as a scribal error caused in part by the earlier occurrence of “camp” in this verse.

⁵ tn Heb “took and brought.”

⁶ tn Heb “and he returned his hand to his mouth.”

⁷ tc The translation follows the Qere and several medieval Hebrew mss in reading “gleamed,” rather than the Kethib, “saw.”

⁸ tn Grk “sent for service for the sake of those.”
