[1:15]  ¹ tn Elsewhere the Hebrew word בְרָכָה (vÿrakhah) is often translated “blessing,” but here it refers to a gift (as in Gen 33:11; 1 Sam 25:27; 30:26; and 2 Kgs 5:15).

[1:15]  ² tn Some translations regard the expressions “springs of water” (גֻּלֹּת מָיִם, gullot mayim) and “springs” (גֻּלֹּת) as place names here (cf. NRSV).

[6:27]  ³ tn Heb “men from among his servants.”

[6:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[6:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “so he did it at night.”

[9:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “have risen up against.”

[9:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “house.”

[9:18]  ⁸ tn The word “legitimate” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[11:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he” (a collective singular).

[11:13]  ¹² tn Heb “from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan.” The word “River” has been supplied in the translation with “Arnon” and “Jabbok,” because these are less familiar to modern readers than the Jordan.

[11:13]  ¹³ tc The translation assumes a singular suffix (“[return] it”); the Hebrew text has a plural suffix (“[return] them”), which, if retained, might refer to the cities of the land.

[12:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “cross over to fight.”
