Kejadian 24:1

The Wife for Isaac

24:1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years, ²  and the Lord had blessed him ³  in everything.

1 Raja-raja 10:2

1 Tawarikh 12:40

12:40 Also their neighbors, from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. There were large supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, olive oil, beef, and lamb, ¹⁰  for Israel was celebrating. ¹¹ 

Yesaya 30:6

30:6 This is a message ¹²  about the animals in the Negev:

Through a land of distress and danger,

inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions, ¹³ 

by snakes and darting adders, ¹⁴ 

they transport ¹⁵  their wealth on the backs of donkeys,

their riches on the humps of camels,

to a nation that cannot help them. ¹⁶ 

[24:19]  ¹ tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:1]  ² tn Heb “days.”

[24:1]  ³ tn Heb “Abraham.” The proper name has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons.

[10:2]  ⁴ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[10:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “with very great strength.” The Hebrew term חַיִל (khayil, “strength”) may refer here to the size of her retinue (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV) or to the great wealth she brought with her.

[10:2]  ⁶ tn Or “balsam oil.”

[10:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “the report about Solomon.” The Hebrew text also has, “to the name of the Lord,” which fits very awkwardly in the sentence. If retained, perhaps it should be translated, “because of the reputation of the Lord.” The phrase, which is omitted in the parallel passage in 2 Chr 9:1, may be an addition based on the queen’s declaration of praise to the Lord in v. 9.

[10:1]  ⁸ tn Or “test.”

[10:1]  ⁹ tn Or “riddles.”

[12:40]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “cattle and sheep.”

[12:40]  ¹¹ tn Heb “for there was joy in Israel.”

[30:6]  ¹² tn Traditionally, “burden” (so KJV, ASV); NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “oracle.”

[30:6]  ¹³ tc Heb “[a land of] a lioness and a lion, from them.” Some emend מֵהֶם (mehem, “from them”) to מֵהֵם (mehem), an otherwise unattested Hiphil participle from הָמַם (hamam, “move noisily”). Perhaps it would be better to take the initial mem (מ) as enclitic and emend the form to הֹמֶה (homeh), a Qal active participle from הָמָה (hamah, “to make a noise”); cf. J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:542, n. 9.

[30:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “flying fiery one.” See the note at 14:29.

[30:6]  ¹⁵ tn Or “carry” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[30:6]  ¹⁶ sn This verse describes messengers from Judah transporting wealth to Egypt in order to buy Pharaoh’s protection through a treaty.
