[6:10]  ¹ tn The words “some people” are supplied in the translation. The Hebrew verb translated “choose” (alternatively “take” [NAB, NIV]; “collect” [NRSV, CEV]) has no direct object specified in the text. Some translations supply “silver and gold” (NIV, NRSV) or “an offering” (NASB).

[6:10]  ² sn Except for Joshua (v. 11) none of these individuals is otherwise mentioned and therefore they cannot be further identified.
