[4:20]  ¹ tn Heb “father.” In this passage the word “father” means “founder,” referring to the first to establish such lifestyles and occupations.

[4:20]  ² tn The word “keep” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation. Other words that might be supplied instead are “tend,” “raise” (NIV), or “have” (NRSV).

[9:26]  ³ tn Heb “blessed be.”

[9:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “a slave to him”; the referent (Shem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “was going.”

[13:5]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew idiom is “to Lot…there was,” the preposition here expressing possession.

[18:9]  ⁷ tn The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) often accompanies a gesture of pointing or a focused gaze.

[19:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:26]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew verb means “to look intently; to gaze” (see 15:5).

[19:26]  sn Longingly. Lot’s wife apparently identified with the doomed city and thereby showed lack of respect for God’s provision of salvation. She, like her daughters later, had allowed her thinking to be influenced by the culture of Sodom.

[19:37]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the firstborn.”

[19:37]  ¹¹ sn The meaning of the name Moab is not certain. The name sounds like the Hebrew phrase “from our father” (מֵאָבִינוּ, me’avinu) which the daughters used twice (vv. 32, 34). This account is probably included in the narrative in order to portray the Moabites, who later became enemies of God’s people, in a negative light.

[23:1]  ¹² tn Heb “And the years of Sarah were one hundred years and twenty years and seven years, the years of the life of Sarah.”

[23:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “And Abraham arose from upon the face of his dead.”

[23:3]  ¹⁴ tn Some translate the Hebrew term “Heth” as “Hittites” here (also in vv. 5, 7, 10, 16, 18, 20), but this gives the impression that these people were the classical Hittites of Anatolia. However, there is no known connection between these sons of Heth, apparently a Canaanite group (see Gen 10:15), and the Hittites of Asia Minor. See H. A. Hoffner, Jr., “Hittites,” Peoples of the Old Testament World, 152-53.

[24:9]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he swore to him concerning this matter.”

[27:17]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “gave…into the hand of.”

[35:19]  ¹⁷ sn This explanatory note links the earlier name Ephrath with the later name Bethlehem.
