[1:9]  ¹ tn Heb “Have I not commanded you?” The rhetorical question emphasizes the importance of the following command by reminding the listener that it is being repeated.

[1:9]  ² tn Or perhaps, “don’t get discouraged!”

[1:9]  ³ tn Heb “in all which you go.”

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “And the gate was to be shut in the darkness and the men went out.”

[2:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “they went and came.”

[2:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.

[2:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.

[8:13]  ¹⁰ tn Some Hebrew mss read, “spent the night in.”

[9:4]  ¹³ tc Heb “and they went and [?].” The root and meaning of the verb form יִצְטַיָּרוּ (yitstayyaru) are uncertain. The form is most likely a corruption of יִצְטַיָּדוּ (yitstayyadu), read by some Hebrew mss and ancient versions, from the root צוּד (tsud, “take provisions,” BDB 845 s.v. II צוד) which also occurs in v. 11. Note NRSV “they went and prepared provisions”; cf. NEB “They went and disguised themselves”; NIV “they went as a delegation.”

[9:12]  ¹⁷ tn Or “moldy.”

[17:7]  ²² tn Heb “was.”

[17:7]  ²³ tn Heb “in front of”; perhaps “east of.”

[18:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “I will send them so they may arise and walk about in the land and describe it in writing according to their inheritance and come to me.”

[18:9]  ²⁸ tn Heb “went and passed through.”
