[11:22]  ¹ tn Heb “arms.”

[11:22]  ² tc The present translation reads הִשָּׁטֹף (hishatof), Niphal infinitive absolute of שָׁטַף (shataf, “to overflow”), for the MT הַשֶּׁטֶף (hashetef, “flood”).

[11:22]  ³ tn The words “in defeat” are added in the translation for clarification.

[11:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “a prince of the covenant.”

[11:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “broken” or “shattered.”

[11:8]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew preposition מִן (min) is used here with the verb עָמַד (’amad, “to stand”). It probably has a sense of separation (“stand away from”), although it may also be understood in an adversative sense (“stand against”).
