1 tn Heb “What are these to you?”

2 tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וְהַלֶּחֶם (vÿhallekhem, “and the bread”) rather than וּלְהַלֶּחֶם (ulÿhallekhem, “and to the bread”) of the Kethib. The syntax of the MT is confused here by the needless repetition of the preposition, probably taken from the preceding word.

3 tn The Hebrew text adds “to drink.”

1 tn Heb “the.”

2 tn Heb “the donkey.”

3 tn Heb “between the sky and the ground.”

1 tn Heb “your servant.”

2 tn Heb “your servant.”
