1 tn Heb “and Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, with lifting up, supervising with lifting up, for he was well-informed.” The precise nuance of מַשָּׂא (masa’, “lifting up”) is unclear. Some understand it as a reference to supervising the singing and music (e.g., NIV: “Kenaniah…was in charge of the singing”; NEB: “Kenaniah…was precentor in charge of the music”).
2 tn Heb “the leader, the lifting up, the musicians.” See also the note on the word “matter” in v. 22.
3 sn An ephod was a priestly garment worn over the robe.
