¹ tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

² tn Heb “were gathered to”; NAB, NIV “gathered around”; NRSV “came together to.”

¹ tc The translation reads הוֹלֶכֶת (holekhet, “was proceeding”) rather than the MT הַהוֹלֶכֶת (haholekhet, “the one proceeding”). The MT probably reflects dittography – accidental writing of ה (hey) twice instead of once.
