Footnote

“To your gods.” Lit., “To your tents.” Heb., leʼo·ha·leyʹkha. One of the Eighteen Emendations of the Sopherim. The original Heb. text is alleged to have used a form of ʼelo·himʹ (“gods”; or, “God”), but by transposing l and h, the second and third consonants of the word, the Jewish Sopherim made M read “tents.” See 2Sa 20:1 ftn, “Gods”; 2Ch 10:16 ftn; App 2B.
