---

¹ tn Heb “his mother.” The pronoun (“she”) has been substituted for the noun (“mother”) in the translation because of English style.

² tn The Hebrew text has “and gave it.” The referent (the pieces of silver) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “and it was in Micah’s house.”
