¹ tn Heb “bowed low and bowed down to.”

² sn Inside and out probably refers to the inner and outer rooms within the building.

³ tc The Hebrew text has “middle,” but the remainder of the verse suggests this is an error.

⁴ tn Heb “by stairs they went up.” The word translated “stairs” occurs only here. Other options are “trapdoors” or “ladders.”

⁵ tc The translation reads with a few medieval Hebrew mss, the Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate הַשְּׁלִשִׁית (hashÿlishit, “the third”) rather than MT הַשְּׁלִשִׁים (hashÿlishim, “the thirty”).
