[6:33]  ¹ tn Heb “Midian, Amalek, and the sons of the east.”

[6:33]  ² tn The words “the Jordan River” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[10:17]  ³ tn Or “were summoned;” or “were mustered.”

[20:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “gathered at the city as one man, united.”

[20:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “assembled from the cities at Gibeah.”

[3:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he gathered to him.”

[9:6]  ¹¹ tc The translation assumes that the form in the Hebrew text (מֻצָּב, mutsav) is a corruption of an original מַצֵּבָה (matsevah, “pillar”). The reference is probably to a pagan object of worship (cf. LXX).

[11:20]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all his people” (also in the following verse).

[18:25]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “bitter in spirit.” This phrase is used in 2 Sam 17:8 of David and his warriors, who are compared to a bear robbed of her cubs.

[18:25]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and you will gather up your life and the life of your house.”

[19:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “they turned aside there to enter to spend the night.”

[19:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and he entered and sat down, and there was no one receiving them into the house to spend the night.”

[2:10]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “All that generation were gathered to their fathers.”

[2:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “arose after them.”

[2:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “that did not know the Lord or the work which he had done for Israel.” The expressions “personally experienced” and “seen” are interpretive.

[19:18]  ²¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Levite) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:18]  ²³ tn Heb “I went to Bethlehem in Judah, but [to] the house of the LORD I am going.” The Hebrew text has “house of the LORD,” which might refer to the shrine at Shiloh. The LXX reads “to my house.”
