24:49 Now, if you will show faithful love to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me as well, so that I may go on my way.” ¹ 

Kejadian 26:10

26:10 Then Abimelech exclaimed, “What in the world have you done to us? ²  One of the men ³  might easily have had sexual relations with ⁴  your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”

Kejadian 31:39

31:39 Animals torn by wild beasts I never brought to you; I always absorbed the loss myself. ⁵  You always made me pay for every missing animal, ⁶  whether it was taken by day or at night.

[24:49]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will turn to the right or to the left.” The expression apparently means that Abraham’s servant will know where he should go if there is no further business here.

[26:10]  ² tn Heb “What is this you have done to us?” The Hebrew demonstrative pronoun “this” adds emphasis: “What in the world have you done to us?” (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 24, §118).

[26:10]  ³ tn Heb “people.”

[26:10]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew verb means “to lie down.” Here the expression “lie with” or “sleep with” is euphemistic for “have sexual relations with.”

[31:39]  ⁵ tn The imperfect verbal form indicates that this was a customary or typical action.

[31:39]  ⁶ tn Heb “from my hand you exacted it.” The imperfect verbal form again indicates that this was a customary or typical action. The words “for every missing animal” are supplied in the translation for clarity; the following clause in Hebrew, “stolen by day or stolen by night,” probably means “stolen by wild beasts” and refers to the same animals “torn by wild beasts” in the previous clause, although it may refer to animals stolen by people. The translation used here, “missing,” is ambiguous enough to cover either eventuality.

[42:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “and also his blood, look, it is required.” God requires compensation, as it were, from those who shed innocent blood (see Gen 9:6). In other words, God exacts punishment for the crime of murder.

[42:36]  ⁸ tn Heb “is not.”

[42:36]  ⁹ tn Heb “is not.”

[42:36]  ¹⁰ tn The nuance of the imperfect verbal form is desiderative here.

[42:37]  ¹¹ tn The nuance of the imperfect verbal form is permissive here.

[42:37]  ¹² tn Heb “my hand.”

[43:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “and we will rise up and we will go.” The first verb is adverbial and gives the expression the sense of “we will go immediately.”

[43:8]  ¹⁴ tn After the preceding cohortatives, the prefixed verbal form (either imperfect or cohortative) with the prefixed conjunction here indicates purpose or result.

[50:21]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “spoke to their heart.”
