¹ tn Heb “from all of them.”

² tn Heb “stood before the king.”

³ tn Heb “the he-goat, the buck.” The expression is odd, and the second word may be an explanatory gloss.

⁴ tn Heb “Javan.”

⁵ tn Heb “a book of truth.” Several English versions treat this as a title of some sort (cf. NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), although the NAB’s rendering “the truthful book” regards “truth” as an attributive adjective, as does the present translation.
