[17:7]  ¹ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  ² tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[17:27]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[17:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

[22:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel.”

[22:13]  ⁶ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t get discouraged.”

[27:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”

[27:24]  ⁸ tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
