[1:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Judah said to Simeon, his brother.”

[1:3]  ² tn Heb “Come up with me into our allotted land and let us attack the Canaanites.”

[1:3]  ³ tn Heb “I.” The Hebrew pronoun is singular, agreeing with the collective singular “Judah” earlier in the verse. English style requires a plural pronoun here, however.

[4:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “The hand of the Israelites became more and more severe against.”

[4:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “cut off.”

[4:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “Jabin king of Canaan.” The proper name and title have been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[5:6]  ⁷ tc The translation assumes the form אֳרְחוֹת (’orÿkhot, “caravans”) rather than אֳרָחוֹת (’orakhot, “roadways”) because it makes a tighter parallel with “travelers” in the next line.

[5:6]  ⁸ tn Or “ceased.”

[5:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “Ones walking on paths.”

[11:38]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he sent her.”

[11:38]  ¹¹ tn Heb “on the hills.” The words “as she walked” are supplied.

[19:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he arose to go.”

[19:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Sustain your heart [with] a bit of food.”

[19:28]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And the man took her on the donkey and arose and went to his place.”
