NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn The words “stating that” are not in the Hebrew text but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “children and women.” The translation follows contemporary English idiom, which reverses the order.

³tc The LXX does not include the words “on the thirteenth day.”
