[12:14]  1 tn Heb “one for a hundred the small, and the great for a thousand.” Another option is to translate the preposition -לְ (lamed) as “against” and to understand this as a hyperbolic reference to their prowess: “the least could stand against a hundred, the greatest against a thousand.”

[24:31]  2 tn Heb “the fathers [i.e., families] of the head [i.e., oldest] just like his youngest brother.”
