1 tn Heb “to all Israel.”
2 tn Or “people.”
3 tn Heb “before.”
4 tn Heb “and it will come in our midst and it will save.” After the cohortative (see “let’s take”), the prefixed verbal forms with the prefixed conjunction indicate purpose or result. The translation understands the ark to be the subject of the third masculine singular verbs, although it is possible to understand the Lord as the subject. In the latter case, one should translate, “when he is with us, he will save us.”
5 tc The translation follows the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate which assume a reading אֶסִפְךָ (’esfÿka, “I sweep you away,” from the root ספה [sfh]) rather than the MT אֹסִפְךָ (’osifÿka, “I am gathering you,” from the root אסף[’sf]).
6 tn Heb “them.” The masculine plural pronoun apparently refers to the returning soldiers.
7 tn Heb “with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments.”
8 tn Heb “it is good in my eyes.” Cf. v. 7.
9 tn Heb “your going forth and your coming in.” The expression is a merism.
10 tn Heb “camp.”
11 tn Heb “eyes.”
12 tn Heb “good.”
