[3:39]  ¹ tn Here again the Hebrew has “at the mouth of,” meaning in accordance with what the Lord said. So also in v. 51.

[3:39]  ² tn The total is a rounded off number; it does not duplicate the precise total of 22,300. Some modern scholars try to explain it by positing an error in v. 28, suggesting that “six” should be read as “three” (שֵׁשׁ [shesh] as שָׁלֹשׁ [shalosh]).

[17:2]  ³ tn Heb “receive from them a rod, a rod from the house of a father.”

[17:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “from every leader of them according to their fathers’ house.”

[17:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “a rod for one leader, a rod for one leader.”

[17:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “the house of their fathers.”
