[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].”

[5:25]  4 tn Heb “fathers.”

[5:25]  5 tn Heb “prostituted themselves after.”

[5:25]  6 tn Heb “the peoples of the land.”

[10:13]  7 tn Heb “and Saul died because of his unfaithfulness by which he acted unfaithfully against the Lord, concerning the word of the Lord which he did not keep, also to Saul, a ritual pit to seek.” The text alludes to the incident recorded in 1 Sam 28. The Hebrew term אוֹב (’ov, “ritual pit”) refers to a pit used by a magician to conjure up underworld spirits. In 1 Sam 28:7 the witch of Endor is called a בַּעֲלַת־אוֹב (baalat-ov, “owner of a ritual pit”). See H. A. Hoffner, “Second Millennium Antecedents to the Hebrew áo‚b,” JBL 86 (1967): 385-401.
