[10:22]  3 tn Heb “came carrying.”

[10:22]  4 tn The meaning of this word is unclear. Some suggest “baboons.”

[27:12]  5 sn Tarshish refers to a distant seaport sometimes believed to be located in southern Spain (others identified it as Carthage in North Africa). In any event it represents here a distant, rich, and exotic port which was a trading partner of Tyre.
