[26:9]  ¹ tn On the meaning of the Hebrew word מִקְצוֹעַ (miqtsoa’), see HALOT 628 s.v. עַ(וֹ)מִקְצֹ. The term probably refers to an “angle” or “corner” somewhere on the eastern wall of Jerusalem.

[23:5]  ² tn Heb “all the people.”

[23:15]  ³ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went through the entrance of the gate of the horses [into] the house of the king.” Some English versions treat the phrase “gate of the horses” as the name of the gate (“the Horse Gate”; e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[24:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the king said [it] and they made a chest and placed it in the gate of the house of the Lord outside.”

[27:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “wall of Ophel.” See HALOT 861 s.v. II עֹפֶל.

[8:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Solomon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the Levites, according to their posts, to praise and to serve opposite the priests according to the matter of a day in its day.”

[8:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the gatekeepers by their divisions for a gate and a gate.”

[8:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “for so [was] the command of David the man of God.”

[25:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “400 cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the distance would have been about 600 feet (180 m).

[35:15]  ⁸ tn Or “seer.”

[32:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he placed officers of war over the people.”

[32:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he spoke to their heart[s].”

[6:28]  ¹⁰ tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view, but this is uncertain. NEB has “locusts new-sloughed or fully grown”; NASB has “locust or grasshopper”; NIV has “locusts or grasshoppers”; NRSV has “locust, or caterpillar.”

[6:28]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

[18:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “at,” which in this case probably means “near.”

[23:20]  ¹² tn Heb “took.”

[31:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “and Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each in accordance with his service for the priests and for the Levites.”

[31:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in the gates of the encampments of the Lord.”
