1 tn Gesenius notes that the sign of the accusative, often omitted in poetry, is not found in this entire song (GKC 363 §117.b).
2 tn The word is a substantive, “choice, selection”; it is here used in the construct state to convey an attribute before a partitive genitive – “the choice of his officers” means his “choice officers” (see GKC 417 §128.r).
3 tn The form is a Qal passive rather than a Pual, for there is not Piel form or meaning.
4 sn Two outer coverings made of stronger materials will be put over the tent and the curtain, the two inner layers.
5 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
6 tn The text uses a relative clause with a resumptive pronoun for this: “who was found with him,” meaning “with whom was found.”
7 tn The conjunction in this verse is translated “or” because the sentence does not intend to say that each person had all these things. They brought what they had.
8 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
9 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
