[1:9] 1 tn Heb “They each went in the direction of one of his faces.”
[1:21] 2 tc The LXX reads “when it went, they went; when it stood, they stood.”
[20:16] 4 tn The words “I did this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for stylistic reasons. Verses 15-16 are one long sentence in the Hebrew text. The translation divides this sentence into two for stylistic reasons.
[20:16] 5 tn Heb “for after their idols their heart was going.” The use of the active participle (“was going”) in the Hebrew text draws attention to the ongoing nature of their idolatrous behavior.
