¹ tn Heb “strikes.” Here the verb has the nuance “to harm in any way.” It would include assaulting the woman or killing the man.

² tn The use of the infinitive absolute before the imperfect makes the construction emphatic.

³ tn Heb “woke up from his sleep.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Heb “said.”

⁵ tn Heb “went forth from me.”
