¹ sn Wadi Jabbok. Now known as the Zerqa River, this is a major tributary of the Jordan that normally served as a boundary between Ammon and Gad (Deut 3:16).

² tn The Hebrew verb used here (חָמַד, khamad) is different from the one translated “crave” (אָוַה, ’avah) in the next line. The former has sexual overtones (“lust” or the like; cf. Song of Sol 2:3) whereas the latter has more the idea of a desire or craving for material things.

³ tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” See note on the term “fellow man” in v. 19.

⁴ tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” The pronoun is used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

⁶ tn Heb “people” (also in vv. 8, 9).

⁷ tn Heb “Who [is] the man” (also in vv. 6, 7, 8).

⁸ tn The Hebrew term חָנַךְ (khanakh) occurs elsewhere only with respect to the dedication of Solomon’s temple (1 Kgs 8:63 = 2 Chr 7:5). There it has a religious connotation which, indeed, may be the case here as well. The noun form (חָנֻכָּה, khanukah) is associated with the consecration of the great temple altar (2 Chr 7:9) and of the postexilic wall of Jerusalem (Neh 12:27). In Maccabean times the festival of Hanukkah was introduced to celebrate the rededication of the temple following its desecration by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (1 Macc 4:36-61).

⁹ tn Heb “another man.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “Who [is] the man.”

¹¹ tn Heb “besiege,” redundant with the noun “siege.”

¹² tn Heb includes “that which comes out from between her feet.”

¹³ tn Heb “her sons that she will bear.”

¹⁴ tn Heb includes “in her need for everything.”
