[6:1]  ¹ sn Beginning with 6:1, the verse numbers through 6:81 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 6:1 ET = 5:27 HT, 6:2 ET = 5:28 HT, 6:16 ET = 6:1 HT, etc., through 6:81 ET = 6:66 HT. Beginning with 7:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[6:16]  ² sn Chapter 6 of 1 Chr begins here in the Hebrew text; 6:16-81 ET = 6:1-66 HT. See the note at 6:1.

[6:16]  ³ tn The name “Gershom” (also in vv. 17, 20, 43, 62, 71) appears as “Gershon” in 1 Chr 6:1.

[24:26]  ³ tn Heb “the sons of Jaaziah, Beno.” Apparently בְנוֹ (vÿno), which could be translated “his son,” is a proper name here. The text, however, may be corrupt at this point; a list of Jaaziah’s sons may have been accidentally omitted. See v. 27.

[24:27]  ⁴ tn Or “from Jaaziah his son.” See the note on “Beno” in v. 26.

[6:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “by their fathers.”

[6:44]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the sons of Merari, their brothers, on the left.”

[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.”

[6:77]  ⁸ tn Heb “to the sons of Merari, who were left.”

[6:77]  ⁹ tc Before “Rimmono” the LXX (following the parallel passage in Josh 21:34) adds “Jokneam and its pasturelands, Kartah and its pasturelands.” This addition is included in some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT).

[15:17]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”
