[8:3]  ¹ tc The MT reads here “from the sons of Shecaniah” with no descendant identified in what follows, contrary to the pattern of the context elsewhere. However, it seems better to understand the first phrase of v. 3 with the end of v. 2; the phrase would then modify the name “Hattush.” This understanding requires emending the reading מִבְּנֵי (mibbÿne, “from the sons of”) in the MT to בֵּן (ben,“[the] son of”). Cf. NAB, TEV, CEV, NLT.

[10:34]  ¹ tn The name “Bani” appears in both v. 29 and v. 34. One of these names has probably undergone alteration in the transmission process, but it is not clear exactly where the problem lies or how it should be corrected.

[10:18]  ¹ tn Heb “found.”

[8:5]  ¹ tc The MT lacks “of Zattu.” The translation adopted above follows the LXX in including the words.

[7:7]  ¹ tc The translation reads the Hiphil singular וַיַּעֲל (vayya’al, “he [Ezra] brought up”) rather than the Qal plural וַיַּעַלוּ (vayya’alu, “they came up”) of the MT.

[8:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and Sherebiah.” The words “this man was” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[8:18]  ² tn Or “relatives” (so CEV; NRSV “kin”); also in v. 19.

[10:2]  ¹ tc The translation reads with the Qere, many medieval Hebrew MSS, the LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate עֵילָם (’elam, “Elam”) rather than the reading עוֹלָם (’olam, “eternity”) found in the MT.

[10:2]  ² tn Heb “in that we have given a dwelling to.” So also in vv. 14, 17, 18.

[10:2]  ³ tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.”

[10:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “upon this.”
