tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.”

sn From Egypt. Because Que is also mentioned, some prefer to see in vv. 28-29 a reference to Mutsur. Que and Mutsur were located in Cilicia/Cappadocia (in modern southern Turkey). See HALOT 625 s.v. מִצְרַיִם.

tn Heb “struck down Aram with a great striking down.”
