The hill on which it is located protruded much like a skull, giving the place its name.

5 tc Expansions on the text, especially when the Lord is the subject, are a common scribal activity. In this instance, since the subject is embedded in the verb, three major variants have emerged to make the subject explicit: ὁ κύριος (Jo kurio", “the Lord”; A C D L W 0148 Ë1,13 Ï lat), τὸ σῶμα τοῦ κυρίου (to swma tou kuriou, “the body of the Lord”; 1424 pc), and ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsou", “Jesus”; Φ). The reading with no explicit subject, however, is superior on both internal and external grounds, being supported by א B Θ 33 892* pc co.
7 tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
8 tn Or “cities.”
10 tn The translation “put your sword back in its place” for this phrase is given in L&N 85.52.
