[21:24]  1 tn The Hebrew text has “Israel,” but the verb is plural.

[21:24]  2 tn Heb “with the edge of the sword.”

[21:25]  3 tn Heb “its daughters.”

[2:33]  4 tc The translation follows the Qere or marginal reading; the Kethib (consonantal text) has the singular, “his son.”

[2:33]  5 tn Heb “all his people.”

[2:34]  6 tn Heb “every city of men.” This apparently identifies the cities as inhabited.

[2:34]  7 tn Heb “under the ban” (נַחֲרֵם, nakharem). The verb employed is חָרַם (kharam, usually in the Hiphil) and the associated noun is חֵרֶם (kherem). See J. Naudé, NIDOTTE, 2:276-77, and, for a more thorough discussion, Susan Niditch, War in the Hebrew Bible, 28-77.
