[4:29]  ² tn Heb “take my staff in your hand.”

[4:29]  ³ tn Heb “If you meet a man, do not greet him with a blessing; if a man greets you with a blessing, do not answer.”

[13:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it so happened [that] they.”

[13:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “and look, they saw.”

[13:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “the man”; the adjective “dead” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[13:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “the man.”
