² tn Heb “they call them Havvoth Jair to this day – which are in the land of Gilead.”

⁴ tc The translation is based on the reading מֵעִיר מְתִים (me’ir mÿtim, “from a city of men,” i.e., “an inhabited city”), rather than the reading מֵעִיר מְתֹם (me’ir mÿtom, “from a city of soundness”) found in the Leningrad Codex (L).

⁵ tn Heb “Also all the cities that were found they set on fire.”
