[2:4]  ¹ tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).

[2:4]  ² tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.

[2:23]  ³ tn The words “the river,” though not in the Hebrew text, are added for clarification.

[14:3]  ⁵ tn Or “assigned an inheritance.”

[14:3]  ⁶ tn Or “no inheritance.”

[14:3]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds, “in their midst.”

[24:12]  ⁷ tn Traditionally, “the hornet” (so KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV) but the precise meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain (cf. NEB “panic”).

[24:12]  ⁸ tn The LXX has “twelve,” apparently understanding this as a reference to Amorite kings west of the Jordan (see Josh 5:1, rather than the trans-Jordanian Amorite kings Sihon and Og (see Josh 2:10; 9:10).

[24:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.
