[26:14] 1 tn “Shelemiah” is a variant of the name “Meshelemiah” (cf. 26:2).
[26:13] 2 tn Heb “for a gate and a gate,” i.e., for each gate.
[25:8] 3 tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”
[25:9] 4 tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.
[6:54] 5 tn Heb “and these were their dwelling places according to their encampments in their territory to the sons of Aaron.”
[6:54] 6 tn Heb “to the clan of the Kohathites for to them was the lot.”
[6:61] 6 tn Heb “to the sons of Kohath who were left from the clan of the tribe, from the half of the tribe of the half of Manasseh by lot ten cities.”
[6:63] 7 tn Heb “and to the sons of Merari by their clans from the tribe of Reuben, and from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun by lot, twelve cities.”
[24:5] 8 tn Heb “and they divided them by lots, these with these, for the officials of the holy place and the officials of God were from the sons of Eleazar and among the sons of Ithamar.”
[6:65] 9 tn Heb “and they gave by lot from the tribe of the sons of Judah, and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, and from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin these cities, which they called them by names.”
[24:31] 10 tn Heb “the fathers [i.e., families] of the head [i.e., oldest] just like his youngest brother.”
