[26:11]  ¹ tn Heb “strikes.” Here the verb has the nuance “to harm in any way.” It would include assaulting the woman or killing the man.

[26:11]  ² tn The use of the infinitive absolute before the imperfect makes the construction emphatic.

[47:21]  ³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[47:21]  ⁴ tc The MT reads “and the people he removed to the cities,” which does not make a lot of sense in this context. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the LXX read “he enslaved them as slaves.”

[14:16]  ⁵ tn The word “stolen” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[14:16]  ⁶ tn The phrase “the rest of “ has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[19:4]  ⁷ tn The verb שָׁכַב (shakhav) means “to lie down, to recline,” that is, “to go to bed.” Here what appears to be an imperfect is a preterite after the adverb טֶרֶם (terem). The nuance of potential (perfect) fits well.

[26:10]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew verb means “to lie down.” Here the expression “lie with” or “sleep with” is euphemistic for “have sexual relations with.”

[33:15]  ¹² tn The cohortative verbal form here indicates a polite offer of help.

[33:15]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he said, ‘Why this?’” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified for clarity, and the order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[33:15]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “I am finding favor in the eyes of my lord.”
