Title: Jer 38:10
Hey All,

I have a question about the text of Jer 38:10. The MT says the king told Ebed-melech to take $L$M )N$M in his hand. The note in BHS reads “1 c Ms $L$H.” Most translations translate it as three men, except NASB, which is always very literal. The Hermeneia commentary says, “One would expect the singular )W with ‘thirty.’”

How do I make an informed decision on the best way to translate this?

Thanks,
Tyler
