[10:21]  1 tn Heb “and the house of Baal was filled mouth to mouth.”

[10:27]  2 tn Or “pulled down.”

[10:27]  3 tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

[10:27]  4 tn Heb “and they made it into.”

[10:27]  5 tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makharaot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsaot), “outhouses.”
