1 tn On the usage of this Hebrew word see HALOT 478-79 s.v. כְּלִי.
2 tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”
3 tc The translation reads מִשְּׂדֶי (missÿde, “from the fields”) rather than the MT reading לִשְׂדֵי (lisdey, “to the fields”).
4 tn Heb “for Judah.” The words “the people of” have been supplied in the translation for clarity, since “Judah” is a proper name as well as a place name.
5 tn Heb “standing.”
6 tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.
7 tn Heb “be over”
8 tn Heb “on their hand.”
9 tn Heb “brothers.”
