[21:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and the word was very wrong in the eyes of Abraham on account of his son.” The verb רָעַע (ra’a’) often refers to what is morally or ethically “evil.” It usage here suggests that Abraham thought Sarah’s demand was ethically (and perhaps legally) wrong.

[37:11]  ² sn Joseph’s brothers were already jealous of him, but this made it even worse. Such jealousy easily leads to action, as the next episode in the story shows. Yet dreams were considered a form of revelation, and their jealousy was not only of the favoritism of their father, but of the dreams. This is why Jacob kept the matter in mind.

[37:11]  ³ tn Heb “kept the word.” The referent of the Hebrew term “word” has been specified as “what Joseph said” in the translation for clarity, and the words “in mind” have been supplied for stylistic reasons.

[41:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the matter was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.”

[20:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “And Abimelech said to.”

[20:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “What did you see that you did this thing?” The question implies that Abraham had some motive for deceiving Abimelech.

[41:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “it is the word that I spoke.”

[16:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “God of my seeing.” The pronominal suffix may be understood either as objective (“who sees me,” as in the translation) or subjective (“whom I see”).

[16:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “after one who sees me.”

[16:13]  sn For a discussion of Hagar’s exclamation, see T. Booij, “Hagar’s Words in Genesis 16:13b,” VT 30 (1980): 1-7.

[22:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “By myself I swear.”

[22:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the oracle of the Lord.” The phrase refers to a formal oracle or decree from the Lord.

[24:9]  ¹² tn Heb “and he swore to him concerning this matter.”

[24:50]  ¹³ tn Heb “From the Lord the matter has gone out.”

[24:50]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “We are not able to speak to you bad or good.” This means that Laban and Bethuel could not say one way or the other what they wanted, for they viewed it as God’s will.

[34:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “we are not able to do this thing, to give.” The second infinitive is in apposition to the first, explaining what they are not able to do.

[34:14]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew word translated “disgrace” usually means “ridicule; taunt; reproach.” It can also refer to the reason the condition of shame or disgrace causes ridicule or a reproach.

[34:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “doing the thing.”

[34:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Jacob’s daughter.” The proper name “Dinah” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[34:19]  ¹⁹ tn The Hebrew verb כָּבֵד (kaved), translated “was…important,” has the primary meaning “to be heavy,” but here carries a secondary sense of “to be important” (that is, “heavy” in honor or respect).

[34:19]  ²⁰ tn The parenthetical disjunctive clause explains why the community would respond to him (see vv. 20-24).

[41:32]  ²¹ tn Heb “and concerning the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh two times.” The Niphal infinitive here is the object of the preposition; it is followed by the subjective genitive “of the dream.”

[41:32]  ²² tn Heb “established.”

[41:32]  ²³ tn The clause combines a participle and an infinitive construct: God “is hurrying…to do it,” meaning he is going to do it soon.

[21:26]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and also.”

[30:31]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[30:31]  ²⁶ tn The negated imperfect verbal form has an obligatory nuance.

[30:31]  ²⁷ tn The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[30:31]  ²⁸ tn Heb “If you do for me this thing.”

[30:31]  ²⁹ tn Heb “I will return, I will tend,” an idiom meaning “I will continue tending.”
