| NET Notes |
1 tn Or “went.” 2 tn Heb “who were in its midst.” 3 tn Heb “according to the custom of the Sidonians.” 4 tn Heb “and there was no one humiliating anything in the land, one taking possession [by] force.” 5 tc Heb “and a thing there was not to them with men.” Codex Alexandrinus (A) of the LXX and Symmachus read “Syria” here rather than the MT’s “men.” This reading presupposes a Hebrew Vorlage אֲרָם (’aram, “Aram,” i.e., Arameans) rather than the MT reading אָדָם (’adam). This reading is possibly to be preferred over the MT. |
