[18:3]  ¹ tn Heb “hand.”

[18:3]  ² tn Heb “when he went to set up his hand at the Euphrates River.” The Hebrew word יָד (yad, “hand”) is usually understood to mean “control” or “dominion” here. However, since יָד does occasionally refer to a monument, perhaps one could translate, “to set up his monument at the Euphrates River” (i.e., as a visible marker of the limits of his dominion). For another example of the Hiphil of נָצַב (natsav) used with יָד (“monument”), see 1 Sam 15:12.

[18:1]  ³ tn 2 Sam 8:1 identifies this region as “Metheg Ammah.”

[18:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the hand of the Philistines.” Here “hand” is figurative language for “control.”

[26:24]  ⁵ tn A number of English versions follow the LXX and Vulgate and read “Shubael” here (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV).

[23:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “with respect to.”

[23:29]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew terms מְשׂוּרָה (mÿsurah) and מִדָּה (middah) refer to different types of measurements.
