[25:33]  ¹ tn Heb “Swear to me today.”

[25:33]  ² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Esau) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:33]  ³ sn And sold his birthright. There is evidence from Hurrian culture that rights of inheritance were occasionally sold or transferred. Here Esau is portrayed as a profane person who would at the moment rather have a meal than the right to inherit. He will soon forget this trade and seek his father’s blessing in spite of it.

[42:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “saw.”

[42:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “Jacob.” Here the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:1]  ⁶ sn Why are you looking at each other? The point of Jacob’s question is that his sons should be going to get grain rather than sitting around doing nothing. Jacob, as the patriarch, still makes the decisions for the whole clan.

[46:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “in visions of the night.” The plural form has the singular meaning, probably as a plural of intensity.

[47:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “caused him to stand.”

[47:7]  ⁹ sn The precise meaning of the Hebrew verb translated “blessed” is difficult in this passage, because the content of Jacob’s blessing is not given. The expression could simply mean that he greeted Pharaoh, but that seems insufficient in this setting. Jacob probably praised Pharaoh, for the verb is used this way for praising God. It is also possible that he pronounced a formal prayer of blessing, asking God to reward Pharaoh for his kindness.

[30:5]  ¹⁰ tn Or “Bilhah conceived” (also in v. 7).

[30:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and she bore for Jacob a son.”

[30:10]  ¹² tn Heb “and Zilpah, the servant of Leah, bore for Jacob a son.”
