¹ tc The translation follows the LXX which reads “Midian”; the Hebrew text has “Maon.”

² tn The words “Did I not deliver you” are interpretive. The Hebrew text simply reads, “Is it not from Egypt…when they oppressed you?” Perhaps the incomplete sentence reflects the Lord’s frustration.

³ tn Heb “hand.”

⁴ sn See Exod 14:19; 23:20.

⁵ tn Heb “the land that I had sworn to your fathers.”

⁶ tn Or “covenant” (also in the following verse).

⁷ tc Heb “threw his life out in front,” that is, “exposed himself to danger.” The MT form מִנֶּגֶד (minneged, “from before”) should probably be read as מִנֶּגְדּוֹ (minnegdo, “from before him”); haplography of vav has likely occurred here in the MT.

⁸ tn Heb “hand.”

¹⁰ tn Or “served”; or “followed.”

¹³ tn Heb “the Lord”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

¹⁴ tn Heb “a man, a prophet.” Hebrew idiom sometimes puts a generic term before a more specific designation.

¹⁵ tc Some ancient witnesses read “from the land of Egypt.” מֵאֶרֶץ (me’erets, “from the land [of]”) could have been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton (note the following מִמִּצְרַיִם [mimmitsrayim, “from Egypt”]).

¹⁶ tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “hand” (also a second time later in this verse).

¹⁹ tn The words “I swear” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

²² tn Heb A man of great strife I was and my people and the Ammonites.”

²³ tn Heb “hand.”

²⁵ tn Heb “you.” The Hebrew pronoun is masculine plural, probably referring to the entire army.

²⁶ tn The Hebrew pronoun here is singular.

²⁷ tn Heb “All the people should go, each to his place.”
