(0.30) | (1Ch 29:15) | 1 tn The Hebrew terms ger (גֵּר; “resident foreigner”) and toshav (תּוֹשָׁב; “resident/dweller”) have similar meanings.

This is a privileged but dependent position; they did not own the land. Cf. also Ps 39:12 and Gen 23:4. |

(0.30) | (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. |
