26:12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, corresponding to their leaders, had assigned responsibilities, like their relatives, as they served in the Lord’s temple.

26:13 They cast lots, both young and old, according to their families, to determine which gate they would be responsible for. ⁵  26:14 The lot for the east gate went to Shelemiah. ⁶  They then cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise adviser, and the lot for the north gate went to him. 26:15 Obed-Edom was assigned the south gate, and his sons were assigned the storehouses. 26:16 Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate, along with the Shalleketh gate on the upper road.

[25:1]  ¹ tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”

[25:1]  ² tn Heb “and their number was, the men of work for their service.”

[25:1]  ³ tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”

[25:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and their number was, the men of work for their service.”

[26:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “for a gate and a gate,” i.e., for each gate.

[26:14]  ⁶ tn “Shelemiah” is a variant of the name “Meshelemiah” (cf. 26:2).

[26:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “a guard alongside a guard.”

[29:30]  ⁸ tn Heb “with all his reign and his might, and the times which passed over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.”

[12:46]  ⁹ tn Heb “heads.” The translation reads with the Qere the plural רֹאשֵׁי (ro’shey, “heads”) rather than the Kethib singular רֹאשׁ (ro’sh, “head”) of the MT.

[68:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “from the fountain of Israel,” which makes little, if any, sense here. The translation assumes an emendation to בְּמִקְרָאֵי (bÿmiqra’ey, “in the assemblies of [Israel]”).
