¹ tn Heb “hated.” See note on the word “other” in Deut 21:15.

² tn Heb “found,” also in vv. 27, 28.

³ tn Heb “lay with” here refers to a forced sexual relationship, as the accompanying verb “seized” (חָזַק, khazaq) makes clear.

⁴ tn Heb “the man who lay with her, only him.”

⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man who attacked the woman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tc Heb “your heads, your tribes.” The Syriac presupposes either “heads of your tribes” or “your heads, your judges,” etc. (reading שֹׁפְטֵכֶם [shofÿtekhem] for שִׁבְטֵיכֶם [shivtekhem]). Its comparative difficulty favors the originality of the MT reading. Cf. KJV “your captains of your tribes”; NRSV “the leaders of your tribes”; NLT “your tribal leaders.”

⁷ tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁸ tn Heb “sold them” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
