[6:17]  ¹ tn The Hebrew construction uses the independent personal pronoun, followed by a suffixed form of הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) and the a participle used with an imminent future nuance: “As for me, look, I am going to bring.”

[6:17]  ² tn Heb “the flood, water.”

[6:17]  ³ tn The verb שָׁחָת (shakhat, “to destroy”) is repeated yet again, only now in an infinitival form expressing the purpose of the flood.

[6:17]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew construction here is different from the previous two; here it is רוּחַ חַיִּים (ruakh khayyim) rather than נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּה (nefesh khayyah) or נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים (nishmat khayyim). It refers to everything that breathes.

[7:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “flesh.”

[8:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “yet all the days of the earth.” The idea is “[while there are] yet all the days of the earth,” meaning, “as long as the earth exists.”

[8:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “seed,” which stands here by metonymy for the time when seed is planted.

[24:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “his faithfulness and his commitment.”

[24:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “As for me – in the way the Lord led me.”

[24:27]  ¹⁰ tn Here “house” is an adverbial accusative of termination.

[24:27]  ¹¹ tn Heb “brothers.”

[26:28]  ¹² tn The infinitive absolute before the verb emphasizes the clarity of their perception.

[26:28]  ¹³ tn Heb “And we said, ‘Let there be.’” The direct discourse in the Hebrew text has been rendered as indirect discourse in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[26:28]  ¹⁴ tn The pronoun “us” here is inclusive – it refers to the Philistine contingent on the one hand and Isaac on the other.

[26:28]  ¹⁵ tn The pronoun “us” here is exclusive – it refers to just the Philistine contingent (the following “you” refers to Isaac).

[26:28]  ¹⁶ tn The translation assumes that the cohortative expresses their request. Another option is to understand the cohortative as indicating resolve: “We want to make.’”

[35:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “let us arise and let us go up.” The first cohortative gives the statement a sense of urgency.

[35:3]  ¹⁸ tn The cohortative with the prefixed conjunction here indicates purpose or consequence.

[35:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “day of distress.” See Ps 20:1 which utilizes similar language.

[35:3]  ²⁰ tn Heb “in the way in which I went.” Jacob alludes here to God’s promise to be with him (see Gen 28:20).

[42:20]  ²¹ tn The imperfect here has an injunctive force.

[42:20]  ²² tn After the injunctive imperfect, this imperfect with vav indicates purpose or result.

[42:20]  ²³ tn The Niphal form of the verb has the sense of “to be faithful; to be sure; to be reliable.” Joseph will test his brothers to see if their words are true.

[42:20]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and they did so.”
