[1:24]  ¹ tc The LXX has vv. 24-35 after v. 37.

[1:42]  ² tc The verse does not have the preposition, only “the descendants of Naphtali.”

[3:28]  ³ tn The construction here is a little different. The Hebrew text uses the participle in construct plural: שֹׁמְרֵי (shomÿrey, literally “keepers of”). The form specifies the duties of the 8,600 Kohathites. The genitive that follows this participle is the cognate מִשְׁמֶרֶת (mishmeret) that has been used before. So the expression indicates that they were responsible for the care of this part of the cult center. There is no reason to delete one of the forms (as does J. A. Paterson, Numbers, 42), for the repetition stresses the central importance of their work.

[3:40]  ⁴ tn The verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “take”) has here the sense of collect, take a census, or register the names.

[4:31]  ⁵ sn More recent studies have concluded that these “boards” were made of two long uprights joined by cross-bars (like a ladder). They were frames rather than boards, meaning that the structure under the tent was not a solid building. It also meant that the “boards” would have been lighter to carry.

[14:29]  ⁶ tn Or “your corpses” (also in vv. 32, 33).

[23:21]  ⁷ tn These could be understood as impersonal and so rendered “no one has discovered.”

[23:21]  ⁸ sn The line could mean that God has regarded Israel as the ideal congregation without any blemish or flaw. But it could also mean that God has not looked on their iniquity, meaning, held it against them.

[23:21]  ⁹ tn The word means “wrong, misery, trouble.” It can mean the idea of “disaster” as well, for that too is trouble. Here it is parallel to “iniquity” and so has the connotation of something that would give God reason to curse them.

[23:21]  ¹⁰ tn The people are blessed because God is their king. In fact, the shout of acclamation is among them – they are proclaiming the Lord God as their king. The word is used normally for the sound of the trumpet, but also of battle shouts, and then here acclamation. This would represent their conviction that Yahweh is king. On the usage of this Hebrew word see further BDB 929-30 s.v. תְּרוּעָה; HALOT 1790-91 s.v.

[26:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “house of their fathers.”

[26:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “everyone who goes out in the army in Israel.”
