[19:11]  ¹ tn Heb “you shall not deal falsely a man with his fellow citizen.”

[2:4]  ² tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).

[2:4]  ³ tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.

[2:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “And the gate was to be shut in the darkness and the men went out.”

[2:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “arranged in rows by her.”

[2:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “Joshua, son of Nun, sent from Shittim two men, spies, secretly, saying.”

[2:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “go, see the land, and Jericho.”

[19:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and hide yourself.”

[17:20]  ¹² tn Heb “to a guard”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “with a keeper”; NIV “with a shepherd.” Since in contemporary English “guard” sounds like someone at a military installation or a prison, the present translation uses “to someone else who would watch over it.”
