¹ tn Heb “young men.”

² tn Heb “lie with me” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV); NCV “come and have sexual relations with me.”

⁴ tn Heb “crossed over.”

⁵ tn Heb “all the little ones.”

⁶ tc The MT reading אֶת־בַיַּרְדֵּן (’et-vayyarden, “in the Jordan”) is odd syntactically. The use of the preposition after the object marker אֶת (’et) is difficult to explain. Graphic confusion is likely in the MT; the translation assumes the reading מִיַּרְדֵּן (miyyarden, “from the Jordan”). Another possibility is to read the definite article on the front of “Jordan” (הַיַּרְדֵּן, hayyarden; “the Jordan”).
