30:17 One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; ⁷ 

at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away, ⁸ 

until the remaining few are as isolated ⁹ 

as a flagpole on a mountaintop

or a signal flag on a hill.”

[7:23]  ² tn Heb “will become” (so NASB); NAB “shall be turned to.”

[37:36]  ³ tn Traditionally, “the angel of the Lord” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[37:36]  ⁴ tn The word “troops” is supplied in the translation for smoothness and clarity.

[37:36]  ⁶ tn Heb “look, all of them were dead bodies”; NLT “they found corpses everywhere.”
