[16:46]  ¹ tn Heb “left.”

[16:46]  ² tn Heb “right.”

[16:46]  ³ sn Sodom was the epitome of evil (Deut 29:23; 32:32; Isa 1:9-10; 3:9; Jer 23:14; Lam 4:6; Matt 10:15; 11:23-24; Jude 7).

[25:15]  ⁴ sn The Philistines inhabited the coastal plain by the Mediterranean Sea, west of Judah.

[25:15]  ⁷ tn The object is not specified in the Hebrew text, but has been clarified as “Judah” in the translation.
