Kejadian 20:4

20:4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said, “Lord, ⁶  would you really slaughter an innocent nation? ⁷ 

[7:3]  ¹ tn Or “seven pairs” (cf. NRSV).

[7:3]  ² tn Here (and in v. 9) the Hebrew text uses the normal generic terms for “male and female” (זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, zakhar unÿqevah).

[7:3]  ³ tn Heb “to keep alive offspring.”

[14:9]  ⁴ tn Or “Goyim.” See the note on the word “nations” in 14:1.

[14:9]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has simply “against.” The word “fought” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[20:4]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[20:4]  ⁷ tn Apparently Abimelech assumes that God’s judgment will fall on his entire nation. Some, finding the reference to a nation problematic, prefer to emend the text and read, “Would you really kill someone who is innocent?” See E. A. Speiser, Genesis (AB), 149.
