[6:8]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text has “middle,” but the remainder of the verse suggests this is an error.

[6:8]  ² tn Heb “by stairs they went up.” The word translated “stairs” occurs only here. Other options are “trapdoors” or “ladders.”

[6:8]  ³ tc The translation reads with a few medieval Hebrew mss, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate הַשְּׁלִשִׁית (hashÿlishit, “the third”) rather than MT הַשְּׁלִשִׁים (hashÿlishim, “the thirty”).

[6:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “He built twenty cubits from the rear areas of the temple with cedar planks from the floor to the walls, and he built it on the inside for an inner sanctuary, for a holy place of holy places.”

[6:16]  ⁵ tc The MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.

[7:35]  ⁷ tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).

[8:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”

[9:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “all the people who were left from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not from the sons of Israel.”

[10:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “Solomon declared to her all her words; there was not a word hidden from the king which he did not declare to her.” If riddles are specifically in view (see v. 1), then one might translate, “Solomon explained to her all her riddles; there was no riddle too complex for the king.”

[11:26]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “raised a hand against.”

[11:26]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Ephrathite,” which here refers to an Ephraimite (see HALOT 81 s.v. אֶפְרַיִם).

[13:5]  ²² tn Heb “the fat.” Reference is made to burnt wood mixed with fat. See HALOT 234 s.v. דשׁן.

[13:5]  ²³ tn Heb “were poured out from the altar.”

[13:5]  ²⁴ tn Heb “according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.”

[19:7]  ²⁵ tn Heb “for the journey is too great for you.”
