[15:9]  ¹ tn Or “camped in.”

[15:9]  ² tn Or “spread out.” The Niphal of נָטָשׁ (natash) has this same sense in 2 Sam 5:18, 22.

[10:9]  ³ tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”

[18:12]  ⁵ tn Or “Mahaneh Dan”; the Hebrew term “Mahaneh” means “camp [of].” Many English versions retain the transliterated Hebrew expression, but cf. CEV “Dan’s Camp.”

[18:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “behind.”
