[8:33]  ³ tn Heb “All Israel.”

[8:33]  ⁴ tn Or “elders.”

[8:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “like the resident alien, like the citizen.” The language is idiomatic, meaning that both groups were treated the same, at least in this instance.

[8:33]  ⁶ tn Heb “as Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded to bless the people, Israel, formerly.”

[13:27]  ⁵ tn Or “it included in the valley, Beth Haram.”
