Kejadian 38:1

Judah and Tamar

38:1 At that time Judah left ⁶  his brothers and stayed ⁷  with an Adullamite man ⁸  named Hirah.

[24:63]  ¹ tn Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:63]  ² tn The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. NASB, NIV “to meditate”; NRSV “to walk”).

[24:63]  ³ tn Heb “at the turning of the evening.”

[24:63]  ⁴ tn Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.

[24:63]  ⁵ tn Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.

[38:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “went down from.”

[38:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he turned aside unto.”

[38:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “a man, an Adullamite.”
