[20:7]  1 tn Heb “Who [is] the man.”

[22:25]  2 tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

[22:25]  3 tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

[22:25]  4 tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

[28:30]  3 tc For MT reading שָׁגַל (shagal, “ravish; violate”), the Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate presume the less violent שָׁכַב (shakhav, “lie with”). The unexpected counterpart to betrothal here favors the originality of the MT.
