Kejadian 38:14

38:14 So she removed her widow’s clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah. (She did this because ⁴  she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.) ⁵ 

[18:8]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:8]  ² tn The words “the food” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text the verb has no stated object.

[18:8]  ³ tn The disjunctive clause is a temporal circumstantial clause subordinate to the main verb.

[38:14]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text simply has “because,” connecting this sentence to what precedes. For stylistic reasons the words “she did this” are supplied in the translation and a new sentence begun.

[38:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “she saw that Shelah had grown up, but she was not given to him as a wife.”
