[14:19]  ¹ tn The preposition לְ (lamed) introduces the agent after the passive participle.

[14:19]  ² tn Some translate “possessor of heaven and earth” (cf. NASB). But cognate evidence from Ugaritic indicates that there were two homonymic roots ָקנָה (qanah), one meaning “to create” (as in Gen 4:1) and the other “to obtain, to acquire, to possess.” While “possessor” would fit here, “creator” is the more likely due to the collocation with “heaven and earth.”

[14:19]  ³ tn The terms translated “heaven” and “earth” are both objective genitives after the participle in construct.

[20:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “And Abimelech rose early in the morning and he summoned.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the preposition לְ (lamed) means “to summon.”

[20:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “And he spoke all these things in their ears.”

[20:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “the men.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “they” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[31:55]  ⁸ sn Beginning with 31:55, the verse numbers in the English Bible through 32:32 differ by one from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 31:55 ET = 32:1 HT, 32:1 ET = 32:2 HT, etc., through 32:32 ET = 32:33 HT. From 33:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[31:55]  ⁹ tn Heb “and Laban got up early in the morning and he kissed.”

[31:55]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his sons.”

[31:55]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to his place.”

[40:4]  ¹² sn He served them. This is the same Hebrew verb, meaning “to serve as a personal attendant,” that was translated “became [his] servant” in 39:4.

[40:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “they were days in custody.”

[49:28]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “All these.”

[49:28]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he blessed them, each of whom according to his blessing, he blessed them.”
