15	tn Heb “for the judgment of the Lord.”
16	tc Heb “and to conduct a case [or “for controversy”], and they returned [to] Jerusalem.” Some emend וַיָּשֻׁבוּ (vayyashuvu, “and they returned”) to וַיֵּשְׁבוּ (vayyeshévu, “and they lived [in]”). The present translation assumes an emendation to יֹשְׁבֵי (yoshévey, “residents of”).
