[8:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and it went out, going out and returning.” The Hebrew verb יָצָא (yatsa’), translated here “flying,” is modified by two infinitives absolute indicating that the raven went back and forth.

[21:22]  ² sn God is with you. Abimelech and Phicol recognized that Abraham enjoyed special divine provision and protection.

[27:18]  ³ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:18]  ⁴ sn Which are you, my son? Isaac’s first question shows that the deception is going to require more subterfuge than Rebekah had anticipated. Jacob will have to pull off the deceit.

[34:20]  ⁵ sn The gate. In an ancient Near Eastern city the gate complex was the location for conducting important public business.

[40:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “Pharaoh will lift up your head from upon you.” Joseph repeats the same expression from the first interpretation (see v. 13), but with the added words “from upon you,” which allow the statement to have a more literal and ominous meaning – the baker will be decapitated.

[42:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “But Benjamin, the brother of Joseph, Jacob did not send with his brothers.” The disjunctive clause highlights the contrast between Benjamin and the other ten.

[42:4]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew verb אָמַר (’amar, “to say”) could also be translated “thought” (i.e., “he said to himself”) here, giving Jacob’s reasoning rather than spoken words.

[42:4]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew noun אָסוֹן (’ason) is a rare word meaning “accident, harm.” Apart from its use in these passages it occurs in Exodus 21:22-23 of an accident to a pregnant woman. The term is a rather general one, but Jacob was no doubt thinking of his loss of Joseph.

[42:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “encounters.”

[46:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and Israel journeyed, and all that was his.”

[46:1]  ¹² sn Beer Sheba. See Gen 21:31; 28:10.

[46:28]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[46:28]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to direct before him to Goshen.”
