⁵ tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”

⁶ tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”

⁷ tn Heb “set ambushers against.” This is probably idiomatic here for launching a surprise attack.

⁸ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.”

⁹ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

¹¹ tn Heb “residents.”

¹² tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

¹⁹ tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).

²² tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”

²³ tn Heb “and stand in the sanctuary by the divisions of the house of the fathers for your brothers, the sons of the people, and a division of the house of a father for the Levites.”
