24:63 He ⁹  went out to relax ¹⁰  in the field in the early evening. ¹¹  Then he looked up ¹²  and saw that ¹³  there were camels approaching. 24:64 Rebekah looked up ¹⁴  and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel

[31:34]  ¹ tn The “camel’s saddle” was probably some sort of basket-saddle, a cushioned saddle with a basket bound on. Cf. NAB “inside a camel cushion.”

[31:34]  ² tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by a vav [ו] conjunction) provides another parenthetical statement necessary to the storyline.

[31:34]  ³ tn The word “them” has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[24:22]  ⁴ sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).

[24:22]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[24:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and she said, ‘We have plenty of both straw and feed.’” The order of the introductory clause has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:25]  ⁸ tn Heb The words “for you” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[24:63]  ⁹ tn Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:63]  ¹⁰ tn The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. NASB, NIV “to meditate”; NRSV “to walk”).

[24:63]  ¹¹ tn Heb “at the turning of the evening.”

[24:63]  ¹² tn Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.

[24:63]  ¹³ tn Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.

[24:64]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lifted up her eyes.”
