[3:15]  ¹ sn Machir was the name of another descendant of Manasseh (cf. Num 32:41; 1 Chr 7:14-19). Eastern Manasseh was thus divided between the Jairites and the Machirites.

[22:16]  ² tn Heb “hated.” See note on the word “other” in Deut 21:15.

[1:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”

[1:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.
