[3:9]  1 sn Sidonians were Phoenician inhabitants of the city of Sidon (now in Lebanon), about 47 mi (75 km) north of Mount Carmel.

[3:9]  2 sn Sirion. This name is attested in the Ugaritic texts as sryn. See UT 495.

[3:9]  3 sn Senir. Probably this was actually one of the peaks of Hermon and not the main mountain (Song of Songs 4:8; 1 Chr 5:23). It is mentioned in a royal inscription of Shalmaneser III of Assyria (saniru; see ANET 280).

[12:1]  4 tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  5 tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”
