[14:46]  ¹ tn Heb “to their place.”

[8:3]  ² tn Heb “walk in” (also in v. 5).

[8:3]  ³ tn Heb “and they turned aside after unjust gain and took bribes and perverted justice.”

[17:13]  ³ tn Heb “his.”

[8:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “judge” (also in v. 6).

[30:22]  ⁵ tc Heb “with me.” The singular is used rather than the plural because the group is being treated as a singular entity, in keeping with Hebrew idiom. It is not necessary to read “with us,” rather than the MT “with me,” although the plural can be found here in a few medieval Hebrew mss. See also the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate, although these versions may simply reflect an understanding of the idiom as found in the MT rather than a different textual reading.
