| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “to the sons of Benjamin.” 2 tc The translation is based on the reading מֵעִיר מְתִים (me’ir mÿtim, “from a city of men,” i.e., “an inhabited city”), rather than the reading מֵעִיר מְתֹם (me’ir mÿtom, “from a city of soundness”) found in the Leningrad Codex (L). 3 tn Heb “Also all the cities that were found they set on fire.” |
