[22:6]  ³ tn Heb “and they went to their tents.”

[24:10]  ⁴ tn The infinitive absolute follows the finite verb in the Hebrew text and indicates continuation or repetition of the action. Balaam pronounced several oracles of blessing over Israel (see Num 23-24).

[24:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “hand.”

[9:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “And he did to them so and he rescued them from the hand of the sons of Israel and they did not kill them.”

[24:12]  ³² tn Heb “and it drove them out from before you, the two kings of the Amorites, not by your sword and not by your bow.” The words “I gave you the victory” are supplied for clarification.
