[11:24]  ¹ tn Heb “the sole of your foot walks.” The placing of the foot symbolizes conquest and dominion, especially on land or on the necks of enemies (cf. Deut 1:36; Ps 7:13; Isa 63:3 Hab 3:19; Zech 9:13). See E. H. Merrill, NIDOTTE 1:992.

[11:24]  ² tn Heb “the after sea,” that is, the sea behind one when one is facing east, which is the normal OT orientation. Cf. ASV “the hinder sea.”

[1:4]  ³ tn Heb “all the land of the Hittites.” The expression “the land of the Hittites” does not refer to Anatolia (modern Turkey), where the ancient Hittite kingdom of the second millennium b.c. was located, but rather to Syria, the “Hatti land” mentioned in inscriptions of the first millennium b.c. (see HALOT 1:363). The phrase is omitted in the LXX and may be a scribal addition.

[1:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Great Sea,” the typical designation for the Mediterranean Sea.

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, even to the great sea [at] the place where the sun sets, your territory will be.”

[1:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “Get up!”

[1:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “this Jordan”; the word “River” has been supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in v. 11).

[1:2]  ⁸ tc Heb “Cross over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land that I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.” The final phrase, “to the children of Israel,” is probably a later scribal addition specifying the identity of “these people/them.”

[8:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “walk in” (also in v. 5).

[8:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and they turned aside after unjust gain and took bribes and perverted justice.”

[5:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the hand of the Lord was against the city.”

[5:9]  ¹² tn Heb “and he struck the men of the city from small and to great.”

[5:9]  ¹³ tn See the note on this term in v. 6. Cf. KJV “and they had emerods in their secret parts.”

[18:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “like his [own] soul.”
