1 tn Heb “But you must cross over armed for battle before your brothers, all [you] mighty men of strength.”
2 tn Heb “Anyone who goes out from the doors of your house to the outside, his blood is on his head. We are innocent.”
3 tn Heb “But anyone who is with you in the house, his blood is on our head if a hand should be on him.”
4 tn Heb “they went and came.”
5 tn Heb “the pursuers.” The object (“them”) is added for clarification.
6 tn Heb “the ones chasing them.” This has been rendered as “their pursuers” in the translation to avoid redundancy with the preceding clause.
7 tn Heb “The pursuers looked in all the way and did not find [them].”
8 tn Heb “Only you keep [away] from what is set apart [to the Lord] so that you might not, as you are setting [it] apart, take some of what is set apart [to the Lord] and make the camp of Israel set apart [to destruction by the Lord] and bring trouble on it.”
9 tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”
10 tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology.
11 tn Heb “But the sons of Israel were unfaithful with unfaithfulness concerning what was set apart [to the Lord].”
12 tn 1 Chr 2:6 lists a “Zimri” (but no Zabdi) as one of the five sons of Zerah (cf. also 1 Chr 7:17, 18).
13 tn Heb “took from what was set apart [to the Lord].”
14 tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.”

15 tn Heb “to them by….”
16 tn Or “touch.”
17 tn Heb “But [as for] you, don’t stand still, chase after your enemies and attack them from the rear.”
18 tn Or “enter into.”
19 tn Heb “has given them into your hand.” The verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of the action.
20 tn Heb “these cities belonged to Ephraim in the midst of the cities of Manasseh.”
21 tn Heb “But be very careful to do the commandment and the law which Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded you, to love.”
22 tn Heb “walk in all his paths.”
23 tn Or “keep.”
24 tn Heb “hug him.”
25 tn Or “soul.”
