Footnotes

  1. 36 Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 37 The phrase “by a rope” is omitted in the . It may be a later clarifying addition. If original, the omission in the is likely due to an error of homoioarcton. A scribe’s or translator’s eye could have jumped from the initial ב (bet) in the phrase בַּחֶבֶל (bakhevel, “with a rope”) to the initial ב on the immediately following בְּעַד (bé’ad, “through”) and accidentally omitted the intervening letters.
  3. 38 Heb “For her house.”
  4. 39 These explanatory statements are omitted in the and probably represent a later scribal addition.
