NET Notes

¹tn Heb “in the day of your standing”; NAB “On the day when you stood by.”

²tn Or perhaps, “wealth” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). The Hebrew word is somewhat ambiguous here. This word also appears in v. 13, where it clearly refers to wealth.

³tc The present translation follows the Qere which reads the plural (“gates”) rather than the singular.

⁴sn Casting lots seems to be a way of deciding who would gain control over material possessions and enslaved peoples following a military victory.

⁵map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

⁶tn Heb “like one from them”; NASB “You too were as one of them.”
