Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: w ḫyṭ mdbr s¹nt ḥl ḏʾl ḍf lg "and he passed quickly through the desert the year the members of the tribe of Ḍaif camped in Lg"
Commentary
WH say in their commentary that "the last sixteen letters [i.e. mdbr s¹nt ḥl ḏʾl ḍf lg] are based on the hand-copy", but the copy reproduced on WH Pl. 22 stops at the letter after {ḫ}{y}ṭ which looks like y not a m. There is therefore no record of these last sixteen letters.
