1 tn Heb “the beginning of strength.” If retained, the plural form אוֹנִים (’onim, “strength”) probably indicates degree (“great strength”), but many ancient witnesses read “their strength,” which presupposes an emendation to אֹנָם (’onam; singular form of the noun with third masculine plural pronominal suffix).
2 tn Heb “entered.”
3 tn Heb “lived as a resident alien.”
3 tn Apparently the pronoun refers to “his servants” (i.e., the Israelites, see v. 25).
4 tn Or “awe-inspiring.”
