¹ tc The MT has an additional word at the beginning of v. 11, וּפְנֵיהֶם (ufÿnehem, “and their faces”), which is missing from the LXX. As the rest of the verse only applies to wings, “their faces” would have to somehow be understood in the previous clause. But this would be very awkward and is doubly problematic since “their faces” are already introduced as the topic at the beginning of v. 10. The Hebrew scribe appears to have copied the phrase “and their faces and their wings” from v. 8, where it introduces the content of 9-11. Only “and (as for) their wings” belongs here.

² tn Or “punishment” (also in vv. 5, 6).

³ tn Heb “the one who is left, the one who is spared.”

⁴ tn Heb “the cherub.”

⁵ tn The Hebrew text adds, “from among the cherubim.”

⁶ tn The verse describes the similar situation recorded in Judg 9:20.
