¹ tc A few medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “from the house of Israel” as in vv. 3, 8, and 10, but the LXX agrees with the MT.

² tn Heb “from the sojourner who sojourns.”

³ tc The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and certain mss of Smr have “your” (plural) rather than “their” (cf. v. 10 above).

⁴ tn Heb “[wild] game of animal.”

⁵ tn That is, it must be a clean animal, not an unclean animal (cf. Lev 11).

⁶ tn Heb “the animal of the field.” This collective singular has been translated as a plural. The expression “animal of the field” refers to a wild (i.e., nondomesticated) animal.

⁷ tn The words “of your children” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

⁸ tn Heb “and diminish you.”
