² tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וְהַלֶּחֶם (vÿhallekhem, “and the bread”) rather than וּלְהַלֶּחֶם (ulÿhallekhem, “and to the bread”) of the Kethib. The syntax of the MT is confused here by the needless repetition of the preposition, probably taken from the preceding word.

³ tn The Hebrew text adds “to drink.”

⁴ tn Heb “Why did you not strike him down there to the ground.”

⁵ tn Heb “ten [shekels] of silver.” This would have been about 4 ounces (114 grams) of silver by weight.

⁶ tn Heb “and a girdle” (so KJV); NIV “a warrior’s belt”; CEV “a special belt”; NLT “a hero’s belt.”
