[10:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and Hadadezer sent and brought out Aram which is.”

[10:16]  ² tn Heb “from beyond the River.” The name “Euphrates” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[10:16]  ³ tn Heb “was before them.”

[11:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “and wash your feet.”

[11:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “and there went out after him the gift of the king.”

[13:18]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew expression used here (כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים, kÿtonet passim) is found only here and in Gen 37:3, 23, 32. Hebrew פַּס (pas) can refer to the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot; here the idea is probably that of a long robe reaching to the feet and having sleeves reaching to the wrists. The notion of a “coat of many colors” (KJV, ASV “garment of divers colors”), a familiar translation for the phrase in Genesis, is based primarily on the translation adopted in the LXX χιτῶνα ποικίλον (citona poikilion) and does not have a great deal of support.

[13:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Amnon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:18]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew verb is a perfect with nonconsecutive vav, probably indicating an action (locking the door) that complements the preceding one (pushing her out the door).

[15:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “and all his house.”

[15:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “women, concubines.”

[24:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Araunah.” The name has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons.

[24:20]  ¹² tn Heb “nostrils.”
