Discovery Box| (0.43) | (Job 12:17) | 5 tn Some translate this “makes mad” as in Isa 44:25, but this gives the wrong connotation today; more likely God shows them to be fools. |
| (0.43) | (Neh 8:9) | 1 tc The unexpected reference to Nehemiah here has led some scholars to suspect that the phrase “Nehemiah the governor” is a later addition to the text and not original. |
| (0.43) | (Neh 3:17) | 1 tc The translation reads וְעַל (veʿal, “and unto”) with several medieval Hebrew MSS and some MSS of LXX, rather than the MT reading עַל (ʿal, “unto”). |
| (0.43) | (Ezr 8:31) | 1 tn Heb “from the hand of the enemy and the one who lies in wait.” Some modern English versions render the latter phrase as “ambushes” (cf. NASB, NRSV). |
| (0.43) | (Ezr 2:24) | 1 tn Heb “the men of the house of Azmaveth”; some regard בֵּית (bet, “house of”) as a part of the place name: NAB, NLT “Beth Azmaveth.” |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 36:9) | 1 tc The Hebrew text reads “eight,” but some ancient textual witnesses, as well as the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:8, have “eighteen.” |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 26:19) | 2 tn Traditionally “leprosy,” but this was probably a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy (technically known today as Hansen’s disease). See 2 Kgs 5:1. |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 25:28) | 3 tc The Hebrew text has “Judah,” but some medieval mss read “David,” as does the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 14:20. |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 22:2) | 1 tc Heb “forty-two,” but some mss of the LXX and the Syriac along with the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 read “twenty-two.” |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 9:21) | 5 tn The meaning of this word is unclear; some suggest it refers to “baboons.” NEB has “monkeys,” NASB, NRSV “peacocks,” and NIV “baboons.” |
| (0.43) | (2Ch 3:8) | 3 tc Heb “20 cubits.” Some suggest adding, “and its height 20 cubits” (see 1 Kgs 6:20). The phrase could have been omitted by homoioteleuton. |
| (0.43) | (1Ch 25:3) | 3 tc One Hebrew ms and some LXX mss supply the name “Shimei” after “Jeshaiah.” Most Hebrew mss omit the name here (but cf. v. 17). |
| (0.43) | (1Ch 24:23) | 1 tc Most Hebrew mss omit “Hebron” here, but see 1 Chr 23:19. The name is included in two Hebrew mss and some LXX mss. |
| (0.43) | (1Ch 13:8) | 2 tn Heb “with songs and with zithers [meaning uncertain] and with harps.” Due to the collocation with “harps,” some type of stringed instrument is probably in view. |

| (0.43) | (1Ch 2:11) | 1 tc The LXX reads “Salmon” (cf. Ruth 4:21) and is followed by some English versions (e.g., NIV, NCV, TEV, NLT). |
| (0.43) | (1Ch 2:23) | 1 tn Or “Havvoth Jair” (NIV, NRSV). Some translations do not translate the phrase (“havvoth” = “the towns of”), but treat it as part of the place name. |
