page 206 note 1 Of these Ně'ělâtamâ'ûk (vii, 14)—for the second half cf. viii, 6—is probably Nahalath-Maachah (‘inheritance of Maachah’), and Ma'anîsâkîr (xxxiv, 4), in view of the variants (p. 202, table, No. 7), seems to have been derived from 2 Sam. xvii, 27 (Shobi, or Machir, of Mahanaim ?).

page 206 note 2 E.g., iv, 15 (Jared, in his days the angels … descended [yārêdū] on the earth); cf. viii, 5, 8; xi, 6, 12, etc. Another probable example has been overlooked in xx, 13 (and these mingled with each other [], and their name was called Arabs []). In xvii, 14 something is wrong with the text (“he called his name Nebaioth, for she [!] said: ‘The Lord was nigh to me when I called upon him'”). “We expect to find a play upon the word Nebaioth (explained in the Onomastica to mean ‘prophesying’); on the supposition that it is not in its original place, it may have once referred to Ishmael (Gen. xvi).
