Kejadian 19:34

19:34 So in the morning the older daughter ¹  said to the younger, “Since I had sexual relations with my father last night, let’s make him drunk again tonight. ²  Then you go and have sexual relations with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” ³ 

Kejadian 21:23

21:23 Now swear to me right here in God’s name ⁴  that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. ⁵  Show me, and the land ⁶  where you are staying, ⁷  the same loyalty ⁸  that I have shown you.” ⁹ 

Kejadian 23:6

23:6 “Listen, sir, ¹⁰  you are a mighty prince ¹¹  among us! You may bury your dead in the choicest of our tombs. None of us will refuse you his tomb to prevent you ¹²  from burying your dead.”

[19:34]  ¹ tn Heb “the firstborn.”

[19:34]  ² tn Heb “Look, I lied down with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight.”

[19:34]  ³ tn Heb “And go, lie down with him and we will keep alive from our father descendants.”

[21:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “And now swear to me by God here.”

[21:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “my offspring and my descendants.”

[21:23]  ⁶ tn The word “land” refers by metonymy to the people in the land.

[21:23]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew verb means “to stay, to live, to sojourn” as a temporary resident without ownership rights.

[21:23]  ⁸ tn Or “kindness.”

[21:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “According to the loyalty which I have done with you, do with me and with the land in which you are staying.”

[23:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Hear us, my lord.”

[23:6]  ¹¹ tn Heb “prince of God.” The divine name may be used here as a means of expressing the superlative, “mighty prince.” The word for “prince” probably means “tribal chief” here. See M. H. Gottstein, “Nasi’ ‘elohim (Gen 23:6),” VT 3 (1953) 298-99; and D. W. Thomas, “Consideration of Some Unusual Ways of Expressing the Superlative in Hebrew,” VT 3 (1953) 215-16.

[23:6]  ¹² tn The phrase “to prevent you” has been added in the translation for stylistic reasons.
