[15:10]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:10]  ² tn Heb “in the middle.”

[15:10]  ³ tn Heb “to meet its neighbor.”

[15:10]  sn For discussion of this ritual see G. F. Hasel, “The Meaning of the Animal Rite in Genesis 15,” JSOT 19 (1981): 61-78.

[23:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “And it was conveyed.” The recipient, Abraham (mentioned in the Hebrew text at the beginning of v. 18) has been placed here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[25:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (Ishmael’s descendants) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “which is by the face of,” or near the border. The territory ran along the border of Egypt.

[25:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “as you go.”

[25:18]  ⁸ sn The name Asshur refers here to a tribal area in the Sinai.

[25:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “he fell.”

[25:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “upon the face of all his brothers.” This last expression, obviously alluding to the earlier oracle about Ishmael (Gen 16:12), could mean that the descendants of Ishmael lived in hostility to others or that they lived in a territory that was opposite the lands of their relatives. While there is some ambiguity about the meaning, the line probably does give a hint of the Ishmaelite-Israelite conflicts to come.
