[1:9]  ¹ tn Heb “you word.”

[1:9]  ² tn Or “be firm, established.”

[20:2]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the implied referent (messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Sea”; in context (“from the direction of Edom”) this must refer to the Dead Sea, which has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. NEB, NLT).

[20:2]  ⁵ tc Most Hebrew mss read “from Aram” (i.e., Syria), but this must be a corruption of “Edom,” which is the reading of the LXX and Vulgate.

[28:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “the loot.” The pronoun (“it”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[28:8]  ⁶ map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

[30:13]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds here, “a very large assembly.” This has not been translated to avoid redundancy with the expression “a huge crowd” at the beginning of the verse.

[32:7]  ⁹ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t be discouraged.”

[32:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “for with us [is] a greater [one] than with him.”

[20:25]  ¹⁵ tn Or “army.”

[20:25]  ¹⁶ tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

[20:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

[20:25]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”

[26:10]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Shephelah.”

[26:10]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “workers and vinedressers in the hills and in Carmel.” The words “he had” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[26:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “for a lover of the ground he [was].”

[32:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and they closed up all the springs and the stream that flows in the midst of the land.” Here אָרֶץ (’arets, “land”) does not refer to the entire land, but to a smaller region like a district.
