[13:18] 3 tn The Hebrew expression used here (כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים, kÿtonet passim) is found only here and in Gen 37:3, 23, 32. Hebrew פַּס (pas) can refer to the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot; here the idea is probably that of a long robe reaching to the feet and having sleeves reaching to the wrists. The notion of a “coat of many colors” (KJV, ASV “garment of divers colors”), a familiar translation for the phrase in Genesis, is based primarily on the translation adopted in the LXX χιτῶνα ποικίλον (citona poikilion) and does not have a great deal of support.
[13:18] 4 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amnon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[13:18] 5 tn The Hebrew verb is a perfect with nonconsecutive vav, probably indicating an action (locking the door) that complements the preceding one (pushing her out the door).
[19:8] 5 tn Heb “all the people.”
[19:8] 6 tn The Hebrew text has simply “Israel” (see 18:16-17).
[19:8] 7 tn Heb “had fled, each to his tent.”
