tn Heb “and they brought up and brought out from Egypt a chariot for 600 silver (pieces), and a horse for 150, and in the same way to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram by their hand they brought out.”

tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
