¹ tn Heb “and they were bringing each one his gift, items of silver…and mules, the matter of a year in a year.”

¹ tn Heb “Use divination for me with the ritual pit and bring up for me the one whom I say to you.”

² tn Heb “and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her as you swore on oath to her.”

² tn Heb “How much more after my death?” The Hebrew text has a sarcastic rhetorical question here; the translation seeks to bring out the force of the question.

¹ tn Heb “and it will be (to) the place where the Lord your God chooses to cause his name to dwell you will bring.”

¹ tc Smr has the singular rather than the plural “you” of the MT, which brings this verb form into line with the ones surrounding it.

² tn Heb “And he (the offerer) shall bring out all the bull to from outside to the camp to a clean place.”

⁴ tn The whole clause reads more literally, “A human being (אָדָם, ʾadam), if he brings from among you an offering to the Lord.”

³ tn Heb “to whom I made myself known before their eyes to bring them out from the land of Egypt.” The translation understands the infinitive construct (“to bring them out”) as indicating manner.
