[1:21]  ² sn The statement to this very day reflects the perspective of the author, who must have written prior to David’s conquest of the Jebusites (see 2 Sam 5:6-7).

[1:30]  ³ tn Heb “the people living in Kitron and the people living in Nahalol.”

[3:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Ehud) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “was.”

[3:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “also he”; the referent (Ehud) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:6]  ⁷ tc The Hebrew text adds, “with their hands to their mouths,” This makes no sense in light of v. 5, which distinguishes between dog-like lappers (who would not use their hands to drink) and those who kneel (who would use their hands). It seems likely that the words “with their hands to their mouths” have been misplaced from v. 6. They fit better at the end of v. 5 or v. 6. Perhaps these words were originally a marginal scribal note which was later accidentally inserted into the text in the wrong place.

[7:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “the people.”

[21:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “But we are not able to give to them wives from our daughters.”

[21:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “is cursed.”
