[20:11]  ¹ tn Heb “Because I said.”

[20:11]  ² tn Heb “over the matter of.”

[27:14]  ³ tn The words “the goats” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[27:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “his mother.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “she” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[31:40]  ⁵ tn Or “by drought.”

[31:40]  ⁶ tn Heb “frost, ice,” though when contrasted with the חֹרֶב (khorev, “drought, parching heat”) of the day, “piercing cold” is more appropriate as a contrast.

[31:40]  ⁷ tn Heb “and my sleep fled from my eyes.”

[31:49]  ⁸ tn Heb “and Mizpah.”

[31:49]  ⁹ sn The name Mizpah (מִצְפָּה, mitspah), which means “watchpost,” sounds like the verb translated “may he watch” (יִצֶף, yitsef). Neither Laban nor Jacob felt safe with each other, and so they agreed to go their separate ways, trusting the Lord to keep watch at the border. Jacob did not need this treaty, but Laban, perhaps because he had lost his household gods, felt he did.

[31:49]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “between me and you.”

[31:49]  ¹¹ tn Heb “for we will be hidden, each man from his neighbor.”

[33:8]  ¹² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Esau) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:8]  ¹³ tn Heb “Who to you?”

[33:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all this camp which I met.”

[33:8]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[48:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “you fathered.”

[48:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “called” or “named.”

[48:6]  ¹⁸ sn Listed under the names of their brothers in their inheritance. This means that any subsequent children of Joseph will be incorporated into the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
