[1:45]  ² tn I.e., designated by anointing with oil.

[3:4]  ³ tn Heb “for it was the great high place.”

[3:4]  ⁴ tn The verb form is an imperfect, which is probably used here in a customary sense to indicate continued or repeated action in past time. See GKC 314 §107.b.

[4:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.”

[7:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”

[7:7]  ⁶ tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.

[8:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”

[8:47]  ⁷ tn Heb “they”; the referent (your people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for all the kingdoms.”

[11:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and all Israel.”

[11:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “until he had cut off every male in Edom.”

[12:25]  ¹¹ tc The Old Greek translation has here a lengthy section consisting of twenty-three verses that are not found in the MT.

[19:3]  ¹² tc The MT has “and he saw,” but some medieval Hebrew mss as well as several ancient versions support the reading “he was afraid.” The consonantal text (וַיַּרְא, vayyar’) is ambiguous and can be vocalized וַיַּרְא (from רָאָה, ra’ah, “to see”) or וַיִּרָא (vayyira’, from יָרֵא, yare’, “to fear”).
