[2:7]  ¹ tn Heb “sons.” The Hebrew text has the plural, but only one son is listed.

[2:7]  ² tc The Hebrew text has “Achar,” which means “disaster,” but a few medieval Hebrew mss read “Achan.” See Josh 7:1.

[2:7]  ³ tn Heb “the troubler of Israel who was unfaithful with respect to the devoted [things].”

[12:14]  ⁴ 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.”

[23:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “for by the final words of David, they were the number of the sons of Levi, from a son of twenty years and upward.”
