¹ tn The verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “take”) has here the sense of collect, take a census, or register the names.

² sn The difference in the names is slight, a change from “he saves” to “the Lord saves.” The Greek text of the OT used Iesoun for Hebrew Yeshua.

³ tn The verb can be translated simply as “divide,” but it has more the idea of allocate as an inheritance, the related noun being “inheritance.”
