[1:13]  ¹ tn “Caleb’s younger brother” may refer to Othniel or to Kenaz (in which case Othniel was Caleb’s nephew; so CEV).

[1:13]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:7]  ³ map For location see Map5 B1; Map7 E2; Map8 E2; Map10 B4.

[17:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “There was a young man from Bethlehem of Judah, from the tribe of Judah, and he was a Levite, and he was temporarily residing there.”

[20:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “a man of war.”

[21:17]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text has “and they said” at the beginning of the verse. For stylistic reasons the translation treats v. 17 as a continuation of the remarks of the leaders in v. 16.

[21:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “An inheritance for the remnant belonging to Benjamin, and a tribe from Israel will not be wiped away.” The first statement lacks a verb. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “How can an inheritance remain for the remnant of Benjamin?”
