[24:2]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term זָקֵן (zaqen) may refer to the servant who is oldest in age or senior in authority (or both).

[24:2]  ² sn Put your hand under my thigh. The taking of this oath had to do with the sanctity of the family and the continuation of the family line. See D. R. Freedman, “Put Your Hand Under My Thigh – the Patriarchal Oath,” BAR 2 (1976): 2-4, 42.

[24:19]  ³ tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[29:15]  ⁴ tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.

[29:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.

[35:17]  ⁶ tn The construction uses a Hiphil infinitive, which E. A. Speiser classifies as an elative Hiphil. The contrast is with the previous Piel: there “she had hard labor,” and here, “her labor was at its hardest.” Failure to see this, Speiser notes, has led to redundant translations and misunderstandings (Genesis [AB], 273).

[35:17]  ⁷ sn Another son. The episode recalls and fulfills the prayer of Rachel at the birth of Joseph (Gen 30:24): “may he add” another son.

[42:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “saw.”

[42:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “Jacob.” Here the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:1]  ¹⁰ sn Why are you looking at each other? The point of Jacob’s question is that his sons should be going to get grain rather than sitting around doing nothing. Jacob, as the patriarch, still makes the decisions for the whole clan.

[42:9]  ¹¹ sn You are spies. Joseph wanted to see how his brothers would react if they were accused of spying.

[42:9]  ¹² tn Heb “to see the nakedness of the land you have come.”

[45:17]  ¹³ tn Heb “and go! Enter!”

[48:11]  ¹⁴ tn On the meaning of the Hebrew verb פָּלַל (palal) here, see E. A. Speiser, “The Stem pll in Hebrew,” JBL 82 (1963): 301-6. Speiser argues that this verb means “to estimate” as in Exod 21:22.

[48:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “your face.”

[48:11]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “offspring.”

[50:4]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “weeping.”

[50:4]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the house of Pharaoh.”

[50:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “in the ears of Pharaoh.”
