[6:27]  ¹ tn Heb “men from among his servants.”

[6:27]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[6:27]  ³ tn Heb “so he did it at night.”

[11:13]  ⁴ tn Or “took”; or “seized.”

[11:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “he” (a collective singular).

[11:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan.” The word “River” has been supplied in the translation with “Arnon” and “Jabbok,” because these are less familiar to modern readers than the Jordan.

[11:13]  ⁷ tc The translation assumes a singular suffix (“[return] it”); the Hebrew text has a plural suffix (“[return] them”), which, if retained, might refer to the cities of the land.

[14:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “get.”

[14:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “and look, a swarm of bees…”

[18:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Danites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:27]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew adds “with fire.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because it is redundant in English.

[21:23]  ¹² tn Heb “did so.”

[21:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “And they took wives according to their number from the dancing girls whom they abducted.”

[21:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “went and returned.”

[21:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “inheritance.”

[21:23]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and lived in them.”
