[3:10] 2 tn Heb “his hand was strong against Cushan-Rishathaim.”
[14:6] 4 tn Heb “him” or “it”; the referent (the lion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[14:6] 5 tn Heb “and there was nothing in his hand.”
[14:19] 6 tn Heb “equipment”; or “gear.”
[14:19] 7 tn Heb “changes [of clothes].”
[14:19] 8 tn Heb “he went up to his father’s house.”
[4:6] 9 sn It is premature to understand the Spirit here as the Holy Spirit (the third Person of the Trinity), though the OT prepares the way for that NT revelation (cf. Gen 1:2; Exod 23:3; 31:3; Num 11:17-29; Judg 3:10; 6:34; 2 Kgs 2:9, 15, 16; Ezek 2:2; 3:12; 11:1, 5).
