Footnotes

  1. Ezra 2:24 tc The translation follows the suggestion in BHS and reads אַנְשֵׁי בֵּית (ʾanshe bet, “men of the house of”) here rather than the reading בְּנֵי (bene, “the sons of”) found in the MT. And see H. G. M. Williamson, Ezra, Nehemiah (WBC), 25.tn Heb “the men of the house of Azmaveth”; some regard בֵּית (bet, “house of”) as a part of the place name: NAB, NLT “Beth Azmaveth.”
  2. Ezra 2:25 tc The translation, with the support of many manuscripts, reads יְעָרִים (yeʿarim) here rather than the reading עָרִים (ʿarim) of the MT.
