[8:9]  ¹ tn Heb “said to.” The translation “threatened” is interpretive, but is clearly indicated by the context.

[8:9]  ² tn Heb “saying.”

[8:9]  ³ tn Or “safely.” Heb “in peace.”

[9:41]  ⁴ tc Heb “stayed.” Some scholars revise the vowel pointing on this verb from that of the MT, resulting in the translation “and he returned to.” The Lucianic recension of the LXX understands the word in this way.

[9:41]  ⁵ tn Heb “drove…out from dwelling in Shechem.”

[10:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”

[10:9]  ⁸ tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”

[18:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they set up for themselves.”

[18:31]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the carved image that Micah had made.”

[18:31]  ¹² tn Heb “the house of God.”

[19:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the man arose to go.”

[19:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “his father-in-law persuaded him and he again spent the night there.”
