[2:9]  1 tn The verb is נָסָע (nasa’): “to journey, travel, set out,” and here, “to move camp.” Judah will go first, or, literally, at the head of the nation, when they begin to travel.

[24:20]  2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Balaam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:20]  3 tn Heb “and he lifted up his oracle and said.” So also in vv. 21, 23.

[24:20]  4 sn This probably means that it held first place, or it thought that it was “the first of the nations.” It was not the first, either in order or greatness.
