[8:20]  ¹ tn Heb “and go out before us.”

[13:20]  ² tc The translation follows the LXX (“their sickle”) here, rather than the MT “plowshares,” which is due to dittography from the word earlier in the verse.

[17:44]  ³ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss have “the earth” here, instead of the MT’s “the field.”

[29:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “go.”

[29:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “and you must not do evil in the eyes of the leaders of the Philistines.”
