[1:18]  ¹ tn Heb “The men of Judah captured Gaza and its surrounding territory, Ashkelon and its surrounding territory, and Ekron and its surrounding territory.”

[1:36]  ² tn Or “the Ascent of Scorpions” (עַקְרַבִּים [’aqrabbim] means “scorpions” in Hebrew).

[1:36]  ³ tn Or “Amorite territory started at the Pass of the Scorpions at Sela and then went on up.”

[2:9]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the territory of his inheritance.”

[11:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the Arnon to the Jabbok, and from the desert to the Jordan.” The word “River” has been supplied in the translation with “Arnon” and “Jabbok,” because these are less familiar to modern readers than the Jordan.

[11:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Israel; the pronoun in the Hebrew text represents a collective singular) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:18]  ⁶ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “Sihon.” The proper name (“Sihon”) has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) because of English style; a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant in English.

[11:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “all his people” (also in the following verse).

[19:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “he carved her up by her bones into twelve pieces.”

[19:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he sent her through all the territory of Israel.”
