¹ tc The Hebrew text lacks the verb “worked.” It is implied, however, and has been supplied in the translation.

² tn Heb “Miphkad Gate” (so TEV; KJV similar); NRSV “Muster Gate.”

³ map For the location of Jericho see Map5-B2; Map6-E1; Map7-E1; Map8-E3; Map10-A2; Map11-A1.

⁴ tn Heb “it.”

⁵ tn Heb “great.”

⁶ tn Heb “have been burned with fire” (so also in Neh 2:17). The expression “burned with fire” is redundant in contemporary English; the translation uses “burned down” for stylistic reasons.
