Footnotes

  1. Exodus 39:24 tn The word is simply “twined” or “twisted.” It may refer to the twisted linen that so frequently is found in these lists; or, it may refer to the yarn twisted. The LXX reads “fine twined linen.” This is not found in the text of Exod 28:33, except in Smr and LXX.
  2. Exodus 39:26 tn The words “there was” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  3. Exodus 39:26 tn The infinitive “to minister” is present; “to be used” is supplied from the context.
