[12:19]  ¹ tn The preterite with vav (ו) consecutive here expresses consequence.

[12:19]  ² tn Heb “to me for a wife.”

[12:19]  ³ tn Heb “Look, your wife!”

[12:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “take and go.”

[24:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “but to the house of my father you must go and to my family and you must take a wife for my son.”

[34:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “came upon the slain.” Because of this statement the preceding phrase “Jacob’s sons” is frequently taken to mean the other sons of Jacob besides Simeon and Levi, but the text does not clearly affirm this.

[34:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “because they violated their sister.” The plural verb is active in form, but with no expressed subject, it may be translated passive.

[50:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “he and the house of his father.”
