[2:15]  ¹ tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:15]  ² tc The phrase “by a rope” is omitted in the LXX. It may be a later clarifying addition. If original, the omission in the LXX is likely due to an error of homoioarcton. A scribe’s or translator’s eye could have jumped from the initial ב (bet) in the phrase בַּחֶבֶל (bakhevel, “with a rope”) to the initial ב on the immediately following בְּעַד (bÿ’ad, “through”) and accidentally omitted the intervening letters.

[2:15]  ³ tn Heb “For her house.”

[2:15]  ⁴ tc These explanatory statements are omitted in the LXX and probably represent a later scribal addition.

[17:13]  ⁵ sn On the Israelites’ failure to conquer the Canaanites completely, see Judg 1:27-28.

[21:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it belonged to the sons of Aaron, from the Kohathite clans, from the sons of Levi.”

[23:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “hug.”

[23:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “done.”

[24:21]  ¹⁷ tn The translation assumes that כִּי (ki) is emphatic. Another option is to take it as explanatory, “No, for we will….”

[24:21]  ¹⁸ tn Or “will serve.”
