[21:19]  ¹ tn Heb “And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.” The referent (Hagar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  ² sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).

[24:22]  ³ sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).

[24:22]  ⁴ tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[25:34]  ⁵ sn The style here is typical of Hebrew narrative; after the tension is resolved with the dialogue, the working out of it is recorded in a rapid sequence of verbs (“gave”; “ate”; “drank”; “got up”; “went out”). See also Gen 3:1-7 for another example.

[25:34]  ⁶ sn So Esau despised his birthright. This clause, which concludes the episode, is a summary statement which reveals the underlying significance of Esau’s actions. “To despise” means to treat something as worthless or with contempt. Esau’s willingness to sell his birthright was evidence that he considered it to be unimportant.

[27:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “Bring near to me and I will eat of the wild game, my son.” Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[27:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “so that my soul may bless you.” The presence of נַפְשִׁי (nafshi, “my soul”) as subject emphasizes Isaac’s heartfelt desire to do this. The conjunction indicates that the ritual meal must be first eaten before the formal blessing may be given.

[27:25]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he brought”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:25]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he drank”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ¹² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “the day is great.”

[29:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “water the sheep and go and pasture [them].” The verbal forms are imperatives, but Jacob would hardly be giving direct orders to someone else’s shepherds. The nuance here is probably one of advice.

[29:8]  ¹⁵ tn The perfect verbal forms with the vav (ו) consecutive carry on the sequence begun by the initial imperfect form.

[40:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “dreamed a dream.”

[40:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “a man his dream in one night.”

[40:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “a man according to the interpretation of his dream.”

[40:20]  ¹⁹ tn The translation puts the verb in quotation marks because it is used rhetorically here and has a double meaning. With respect to the cup bearer it means “reinstate” (see v. 13), but with respect to the baker it means “decapitate” (see v. 19).
