[7:21]  ¹ tn Heb “flesh.”

[12:5]  ² tn Heb “the son of his brother.”

[12:5]  ³ tn For the semantic nuance “acquire [property]” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah), see BDB 795 s.v. עָשָׂה.

[12:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “went out to go.”

[18:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “saying.”

[18:12]  ⁶ tn It has been suggested that this word should be translated “conception,” not “pleasure.” See A. A. McIntosh, “A Third Root ‘adah in Biblical Hebrew,” VT 24 (1974): 454-73.

[18:12]  ⁷ tn The word “too” has been added in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:54]  ⁸ tn Heb “And they ate and drank, he and the men who [were] with him and they spent the night.”

[24:54]  ⁹ tn Heb “Send me away to my master.”

[37:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[37:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “see.”

[37:14]  ¹² tn Heb “peace.”

[37:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[39:4]  ¹⁴ sn The Hebrew verb translated became his personal attendant refers to higher domestic service, usually along the lines of a personal attendant. Here Joseph is made the household steward, a position well-attested in Egyptian literature.

[39:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[39:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “put into his hand.”

[40:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “dreamed a dream.”

[40:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “a man his dream in one night.”

[40:5]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “a man according to the interpretation of his dream.”

[40:16]  ²⁰ tn Heb “that [the] interpretation [was] good.” The words “the first dream” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[40:16]  ²¹ tn Or “three wicker baskets.” The meaning of the Hebrew noun חֹרִי (khori, “white bread, cake”) is uncertain; some have suggested the meaning “wicker” instead. Comparison with texts from Ebla suggests the meaning “pastries made with white flour” (M. Dahood, “Eblaite h¬a-rí and Genesis 40,16 h£o„rî,” BN 13 [1980]: 14-16).

[42:25]  ²² tn Heb “and they filled.” The clause appears to be elliptical; one expects “Joseph gave orders to fill…and they filled.” See GKC 386 §120.f.

[42:25]  ²³ tn Heb “and he did for them so.” Joseph would appear to be the subject of the singular verb. If the text is retained, the statement seems to be a summary of the preceding, more detailed statement. However, some read the verb as plural, “and they did for them so.” In this case the statement indicates that Joseph’s subordinates carried out his orders. Another alternative is to read the singular verb as passive (with unspecified subject), “and this was done for them so” (cf. NEB, NIV, NRSV).

[49:10]  ²⁴ tn Or perhaps “from his descendants,” taking the expression “from between his feet” as a euphemism referring to the genitals. In this case the phrase refers by metonymy to those who come forth from his genitals, i.e., his descendants.

[49:10]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew form שִׁילֹה (shiloh) is a major interpretive problem. There are at least four major options (with many variations and less likely alternatives): (1) Some prefer to leave the text as it is, reading “Shiloh” and understanding it as the place where the ark rested for a while in the time of the Judges. (2) By repointing the text others arrive at the translation “until the [or “his”] ruler comes,” a reference to a Davidic ruler or the Messiah. (3) Another possibility that does not require emendation of the consonantal text, but only repointing, is “until tribute is brought to him” (so NEB, JPS, NRSV), which has the advantage of providing good parallelism with the following line, “the nations will obey him.” (4) The interpretation followed in the present translation, “to whom it [belongs]” (so RSV, NIV, REB), is based on the ancient versions. Again, this would refer to the Davidic dynasty or, ultimately, to the Messiah.

[49:10]  ²⁶ tn “and to him [will be] the obedience of the nations.” For discussion of this verse see J. Blenkinsopp, “The Oracle of Judah and the Messianic Entry,” JBL 80 (1961): 55-64; and E. M. Good, “The ‘Blessing’ on Judah,” JBL 82 (1963): 427-32.

[50:21]  ²⁷ tn Heb “spoke to their heart.”
