[7:8]  ¹ tn Heb “two two” meaning “in twos.”

[7:14]  ² tn The verb “entered” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:14]  ³ tn Heb “every bird, every wing.”

[8:11]  ⁴ tn The clause introduced by vav (ו) consecutive is translated as a temporal clause subordinated to the following clause.

[8:11]  ⁵ tn The deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) draws attention to the olive leaf. It invites readers to enter into the story, as it were, and look at the olive leaf with their own eyes.

[12:6]  ⁶ tn Or “terebinth.”

[12:6]  ⁷ sn The Hebrew word Moreh (מוֹרֶה, moreh) means “teacher.” It may well be that the place of this great oak tree was a Canaanite shrine where instruction took place.

[12:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the oak of Moreh.”

[12:6]  ⁹ tn The disjunctive clause gives important information parenthetical in nature – the promised land was occupied by Canaanites.

[14:16]  ¹⁰ tn The word “stolen” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[14:16]  ¹¹ tn The phrase “the rest of “ has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:12]  ¹² tn Heb “the son of eight days.”

[19:35]  ¹³ tn Heb “drink wine.”

[19:35]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lied down with him.”

[19:35]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “And he did not know when she lied down and when she arose.”

[23:17]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “And it was conveyed.” The recipient, Abraham (mentioned in the Hebrew text at the beginning of v. 18) has been placed here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:67]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

[24:67]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:67]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

[24:67]  ²⁰ tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.

[29:7]  ²¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ²² tn Heb “the day is great.”

[29:7]  ²³ tn Heb “water the sheep and go and pasture [them].” The verbal forms are imperatives, but Jacob would hardly be giving direct orders to someone else’s shepherds. The nuance here is probably one of advice.

[29:12]  ²⁴ tn Heb “declared.”

[29:12]  ²⁵ tn Heb “that he [was] the brother of her father.”

[38:21]  ²⁶ tn Heb “the men of her place,” that is, who lived at the place where she had been.

[38:21]  ²⁷ sn The Hebrew noun translated “cult prostitute” is derived from a verb meaning “to be set apart; to be distinct.” Thus the term refers to a woman who did not marry, but was dedicated to temple service as a cult prostitute. The masculine form of this noun is used for male cult prostitutes. Judah thought he had gone to an ordinary prostitute (v. 15); but Hirah went looking for a cult prostitute, perhaps because it had been a sheep-shearing festival. For further discussion see E. M. Yamauchi, “Cultic Prostitution,” Orient and Occident (AOAT), 213-23.

[41:14]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and Pharaoh sent and called,” indicating a summons to the royal court.

[41:41]  ²⁹ tn The translation assumes that the perfect verbal form is descriptive of a present action. Another option is to understand it as rhetorical, in which case Pharaoh describes a still future action as if it had already occurred in order to emphasize its certainty. In this case one could translate “I have placed” or “I will place.” The verb נָתַן (natan) is translated here as “to place in authority [over].”

[41:41]  ³⁰ sn Joseph became the grand vizier of the land of Egypt. See W. A. Ward, “The Egyptian Office of Joseph,” JSS 5 (1960): 144-50; and R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel, 129-31.

[44:2]  ³¹ tn The imperfect verbal form is used here to express Joseph’s instructions.

[44:2]  ³² tn Heb “and he did according to the word of Joseph which he spoke.”

[44:29]  ³³ tn The construction uses a perfect verbal form with the vav consecutive to introduce the conditional clause and then another perfect verbal form with a vav consecutive to complete the sentence: “if you take…then you will bring down.”

[44:29]  ³⁴ sn The expression bring down my gray hair is figurative, using a part for the whole – they would put Jacob in the grave. But the gray head signifies a long life of worry and trouble. See Gen 42:38.

[44:29]  ³⁵ tn Heb “evil/calamity.” The term is different than the one used in the otherwise identical statement recorded in v. 31 (see also 42:38).

[44:29]  ³⁶ tn Heb “to Sheol,” the dwelling place of the dead.

[44:31]  ³⁷ tn Heb “when he sees that there is no boy.”

[46:15]  ³⁸ tn Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”
