¹ tn Heb “lived”; “dwelled.”

² tn Heb “in that hill country,” repeating the end of v. 43.

³ tn Heb “came out to meet.”

⁴ sn Hormah is probably Khirbet el-Meshash, 5.5 mi (9 km) west of Arad and 7.5 mi (12 km) SE of Beer Sheba. Its name is a derivative of the verb חָרָם (kharam, “to ban; to exterminate”). See Num 21:3.
