[2:19]  1 sn Lot’s descendants. See note on this phrase in Deut 2:9.

[19:37]  2 tn Heb “the firstborn.”

[19:37]  3 sn The meaning of the name Moab is not certain. The name sounds like the Hebrew phrase “from our father” (מֵאָבִינוּ, meavinu) which the daughters used twice (vv. 32, 34). This account is probably included in the narrative in order to portray the Moabites, who later became enemies of God’s people, in a negative light.

[83:8]  4 tn Heb “they are an arm for the sons of Lot.” The “arm” is here a symbol of military might.
