[3:8]  ¹ tn There is no verb expressed in the Hebrew text; “stands” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[3:18]  ³ sn There was no one else in the house except the two of us. In other words, there were no other witnesses to the births who could identify which child belonged to which mother.

[12:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “came.”

[12:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “said in his heart.”

[18:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “to kill me.”

[21:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “Far be it from me, by the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.”
