Kejadian 5:2

5:2 He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.” ¹ 

Kejadian 21:33

21:33 Abraham ²  planted a tamarisk tree ³  in Beer Sheba. There he worshiped the Lord, ⁴  the eternal God.

Kejadian 24:59

24:59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, accompanied by her female attendant, with Abraham’s servant and his men.

[5:2]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word used here is אָדָם (’adam).

[21:33]  ² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:33]  ³ sn The planting of the tamarisk tree is a sign of Abraham’s intent to stay there for a long time, not a religious act. A growing tree in the Negev would be a lasting witness to God’s provision of water.

[21:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “he called there in the name of the Lord.” The expression refers to worshiping the Lord through prayer and sacrifice (see Gen 4:26; 12:8; 13:4; 26:25). See G. J. Wenham, Genesis (WBC), 1:116, 281.
