Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon.

We have shattered them as far as Nophah,

which ²  reaches to Medeba.”

[21:30]  ¹ tc The first verb is difficult. MT has “we shot at them.” The Greek has “their posterity perished” (see GKC 218 §76.f).

[21:30]  ² tc The relative pronoun “which” (אֲשֶׁר, ’asher) posed a problem for the ancient scribes here, as indicated by the so-called extraordinary point (punta extraordinaria) over the letter ר (resh) of אֲשֶׁר.

[13:16]  ³ tn Heb “their territory was from.”
