1 tn Heb “filled the hand of.”
2 tn Heb “do good for me.”
3 tn Heb “He said to them, ‘Such and such Micah has done for me.’” Though the statement is introduced and presented, at least in part, as a direct quotation (note especially “for me”), the phrase “such and such” appears to be the narrator’s condensed version of what the Levite really said.
4 tn Heb “in peace.”
5 tn Heb “In front of the LORD is your way in which you are going.”
6 tn Heb “and went into the midst of the people.”
