32:8 He has with him mere human strength, ⁷  but the Lord our God is with us to help us and fight our battles!” The army ⁸  was encouraged by the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.

[20:23]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ² tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

[20:23]  ³ tn Heb “residents.”

[20:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

[25:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “cause you to stumble.”

[25:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “to cause to stumble.”

[32:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “With him is an arm of flesh.”

[32:8]  ¹⁰ tn Or “people.”
