‹Triangle brackets› are placed around phrases that are only a single word in the Hebrew text.
Italics indicate words that are not in the Hebrew, nor implied by it, but necessary to represent the meaning in English.

[Square brackets] are placed around words or phrases that are not in the received Hebrew text, but are supplied by other ancient witnesses, and in my judgment are probably original.
