[8:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Where are?”

[8:18]  ² tn Heb “each one like the appearance of sons of the king.”

[16:27]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[9:51]  ⁵ tn Or “strong.”

[9:51]  ⁶ tn Or “fortress.” The same Hebrew term occurs once more in this verse and twice in v. 52.

[18:7]  ¹¹ tc Heb “and a thing there was not to them with men.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX and Symmachus read “Syria” here rather than the MT’s “men.” This reading presupposes a Hebrew Vorlage אֲרָם (’aram, “Aram,” i.e., Arameans) rather than the MT reading אָדָם (’adam). This reading is possibly to be preferred over the MT.
