¹ tn Heb “and the lot came up for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin.”

¹ tn The verb “came” is supplied in the translation (see v. 4).

¹ tn Heb “Joshua came upon them suddenly, all the night he went up from Gilgal.”

² tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.

² tn Heb “came to” or “approached,” a euphemism for sexual relations. See note at v. 21.

³ tn Heb “came to” or “approached,” a euphemism for sexual relations. See note at v. 21.

¹ tn Heb “came to.” See the note on the same expression in v. 2.

³ tn Grk “on the road in which you came,” but the relative clause makes for awkward English style, so it was translated as a temporal clause (“as you came here”).

¹ tn The verb is simply בּוֹא (boʾ, “to come; to enter”). With the preposition עַל (ʿal, “upon”) it could mean “came to me,” or “came upon me,” i.e., descended (see R. Gordis, Job, 320).

⁴ tn Heb “let it not be known that the woman came [to] the threshing floor” (NASB similar). The article on הָאִשָּׁה (haʾishah, “the woman”) is probably dittographic (note the final he on the preceding verb בָּאָה [baʾah, “she came”]).

⁴ tn The words “the ones who came to your house” (Heb “who came to your house”) may be a euphemistic scribal addition designed to blur the sexual connotation of the preceding words.

³ tn Heb “came to me to make fun of me.” The statement needs no explanation because of the connotations of “came to me” and “to make fun of me.” See the note on the expression “humiliate us” in v. 14.

² sn Many…also came and were healed. Again, here is irony. Paul, though imprisoned, “frees” others of their diseases.

³ tn Grk “came”; the words “accompanied Joseph” are not in the Greek text but are supplied for clarity.

³ sn You people do not know where I came from or where I am going. The ignorance of the religious authorities regarding Jesus’ origin works on two levels at once: First, they thought Jesus came from Galilee (although he really came from Bethlehem in Judea) and second, they did not know that he came from heaven (from the Father), and this is where he would return. See further John 7:52.

⁴ sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.

¹ sn Demons also came out. Note how Luke distinguishes healing from exorcism here, implying that the two are not identical.

² tn Heb “If thieves came to you, or if plunderers of the night” (NRSV similar). The repetition here adds rhetorical emphasis.

¹ tn Heb “to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came.” Foreign alliances are in view here.

⁶ tn Heb “and she came down in an astonishing way,” or “and she was brought down in an astonishing way.”
