| (0.38) | (Deu 3:11) | 5 tn Heb “9 cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 in (45 cm) for the standard cubit, this would be 13.5 ft (4.1 m) long. |
| (0.38) | (Deu 1:3) | 3 sn The fortieth year would be 1406 b.c. according to the “early” date of the exodus. See E. H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, 66-75. |

| (0.38) | (Num 16:37) | 3 tn The Hebrew text just has “fire,” but it would be hard to conceive of this action apart from the idea of coals of fire. |
| (0.38) | (Num 12:8) | 2 tn The word מַרְאֶה (marʾeh) refers to what is seen, a vision, an appearance. Here it would have the idea of that which is clearly visible, open, obvious. |
