[29:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and he said to them, ‘Is there peace to him?’”

[29:6]  ² tn Heb “peace.”

[31:14]  ³ tn The two nouns may form a hendiadys, meaning “a share in the inheritance” or “a portion to inherit.”

[31:48]  ⁴ tn Heb “a witness between me and you.”

[33:19]  ⁵ tn The words “he bought it” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text v. 19 is one long sentence.

[33:19]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qÿsitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value is unknown. (However, cf. REB, which renders the term as “sheep”).

[35:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the going out of her life, for she was dying.” Rachel named the child with her dying breath.

[35:18]  ⁸ sn The name Ben-Oni means “son of my suffering.” It is ironic that Rachel’s words to Jacob in Gen 30:1, “Give me children or I’ll die,” take a different turn here, for it was having the child that brought about her death.

[35:18]  ⁹ tn The disjunctive clause is contrastive.

[35:18]  sn His father called him Benjamin. There was a preference for giving children good or positive names in the ancient world, and “son of my suffering” would not do (see the incident in 1 Chr 4:9-10), because it would be a reminder of the death of Rachel (in this connection, see also D. Daube, “The Night of Death,” HTR 61 [1968]: 629-32). So Jacob named him Benjamin, which means “son of the [or “my”] right hand.” The name Benjamin appears in the Mari texts. There have been attempts to connect this name to the resident tribe listed at Mari, “sons of the south” (since the term “right hand” can also mean “south” in Hebrew), but this assumes a different reading of the story. See J. Muilenburg, “The Birth of Benjamin,” JBL 75 (1956): 194-201.

[42:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in the midst of the coming ones.”

[43:6]  ¹¹ tn The verb may even have a moral connotation here, “Why did you do evil to me?”

[43:6]  ¹² tn The infinitive construct here explains how they brought trouble on Jacob.

[45:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel did so.”

[45:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “according to the mouth of Pharaoh.”

[46:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and Israel journeyed, and all that was his.”

[46:1]  ¹⁶ sn Beer Sheba. See Gen 21:31; 28:10.

[46:30]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “after my seeing your face that you are still alive.”

[48:11]  ¹⁸ tn On the meaning of the Hebrew verb פָּלַל (palal) here, see E. A. Speiser, “The Stem pll in Hebrew,” JBL 82 (1963): 301-6. Speiser argues that this verb means “to estimate” as in Exod 21:22.

[48:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “your face.”

[48:11]  ²⁰ tn Heb “offspring.”
