[22:2] 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2] 4 sn A whole burnt offering signified the complete surrender of the worshiper and complete acceptance by God.

[22:2] 5 tn Heb “which I will say to.”
[26:30] 6 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
