¹ tn Heb “the day after, when they ate.” The present translation assumes this means the day after the Passover, though it is possible it refers to the day after they began eating the land’s produce.

² tn Heb “and the sons of Israel had no more manna.”

³ tn Heb “They have violated my covenant which I commanded them.”

⁴ tn Heb “what was set apart [to the Lord].”

⁵ tn Heb “and also they have stolen, and also they have lied, and also they have placed [them] among their items.”

⁶ tc Heb “and they went and [?].” The root and meaning of the verb form יִצְטַיָּרוּ (yitstayyaru) are uncertain. The form is most likely a corruption of יִצְטַיָּדוּ (yitstayyadu), read by some Hebrew mss and ancient versions, from the root צוּד (tsud, “take provisions,” BDB 845 s.v. II צוד) which also occurs in v. 11. Note NRSV “they went and prepared provisions”; cf. NEB “They went and disguised themselves”; NIV “they went as a delegation.”
