Joshua 22:1

Job 28:2

¹ tn The words “of your gates” have been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent of “bars.”

² tn Heb “return to your tents with.”

³ tn Heb “very many cattle.”

⁴ tn Heb “very much clothing.”

⁵ tn Heb “ten leaders with him, one leader, one leader for a paternal house, for all the tribes of Israel, and each a head of the house of their father, they belong to the clans of Israel.”

⁶ tn Heb “from dust.”

⁷ tn The verb יָצוּק (yatsuq) is usually translated as a passive participle “is smelted” (from יָצַק [yatsaq, “to melt”]): “copper is smelted from the ore” (ESV) or “from the stone, copper is poured out” (as an imperfect from צוּק [tsuq]). But the rock becomes the metal in the process. So according to R. Gordis (Job, 304) the translation should be: “the rock is poured out as copper.” E. Dhorme (Job, 400), however, defines the form in the text as “hard,” and simply has it “hard stone becomes copper.”
