Kejadian 21:7

21:7 She went on to say, ¹  “Who would ²  have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have given birth to a son for him in his old age!”

Kejadian 27:20

27:20 But Isaac asked his son, “How in the world ³  did you find it so quickly, ⁴  my son?” “Because the Lord your God brought it to me,” ⁵  he replied. ⁶ 

Kejadian 45:12

45:12 You and my brother Benjamin can certainly see with your own eyes that I really am the one who speaks to you. ⁷ 

[21:7]  ¹ tn Heb “said.”

[21:7]  ² tn The perfect form of the verb is used here to describe a hypothetical situation.

[27:20]  ³ tn Heb “What is this?” The enclitic pronoun “this” adds emphasis to the question, which is comparable to the English rhetorical question, “How in the world?”

[27:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “you hastened to find.” In translation the infinitive becomes the main verb and the first verb becomes adverbial.

[27:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “caused to meet before me.”

[27:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he said, ‘Because the Lord your God….’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[45:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “And, look, your eyes see and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that my mouth is the one speaking to you.”
