| (0.49) | (Gen 29:15) | 2 tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew. |
| (0.49) | (Lev 20:21) | 1 sn It must be assumed that the brother is still alive in this situation, since Deut 25:5 requires a man to marry his brother’s widow and have a child in his brother’s name. It is less clear whether the brother in this case has divorced his wife. |
| (0.46) | (Gen 4:9) | 2 sn Am I my brother’s guardian? Cain lies and then responds with a defiant rhetorical question of his own in which he repudiates any responsibility for his brother. But his question is ironic, for he is responsible for his brother’s fate, especially if he wanted to kill him. See P. A. Riemann, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” Int 24 (1970): 482-91. |

| (0.42) | (Hag 2:22) | 2 tn Heb “and horses and their riders will go down, a man with a sword his brother”; KJV “every one by the sword of his brother.” |
| (0.42) | (Eze 11:15) | 1 tc The MT reads “your brothers, your brothers” either for emphasis (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:341, n. 1; 346) or as a result of dittography. |
| (0.42) | (Neh 11:14) | 1 tc The translation reads with the LXX וְאֶחָיו (veʾekhayv, “and his brothers”) rather than the MT reading וַאֲחֵיהֶם (vaʾakhehem, “and their brothers”). |
| (0.42) | (1Ch 9:38) | 1 tn Heb “and also they, opposite their brothers, lived in Jerusalem with their brothers.” This redundancy has been removed in the translation. |
