17:16 I will bless her and will give you a son through her. I will bless her and she will become a mother of nations. ¹  Kings of countries ²  will come from her!”

Kejadian 22:3

22:3 Early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. ³  He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out ⁴  for the place God had spoken to him about.

Kejadian 24:35

24:35 “The Lord has richly blessed my master and he has become very wealthy. ⁵  The Lord ⁶  has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

Kejadian 25:23

25:23 and the Lord said to her,

“Two nations ⁷  are in your womb,

and two peoples will be separated from within you.

One people will be stronger than the other,

and the older will serve the younger.”

Kejadian 30:30

30:30 Indeed, ⁸  you had little before I arrived, ⁹  but now your possessions have increased many times over. ¹⁰  The Lord has blessed you wherever I worked. ¹¹  But now, how long must it be before I do something for my own family too?” ¹² 

Kejadian 42:25

42:25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill ¹³  their bags with grain, to return each man’s money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. His orders were carried out. ¹⁴ 

Kejadian 42:34

42:34 But bring your youngest brother back to me so I will know ¹⁵  that you are honest men and not spies. ¹⁶  Then I will give your brother back to you and you may move about freely in the land.’” ¹⁷ 

Kejadian 43:32

43:32 They set a place for him, a separate place for his brothers, ¹⁸  and another for the Egyptians who were eating with him. (The Egyptians are not able to eat with Hebrews, for the Egyptians think it is disgusting ¹⁹  to do so.) ²⁰ 

Kejadian 47:18

47:18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We cannot hide from our ²¹  lord that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our lord. Nothing remains before our lord except our bodies and our land.

[17:16]  ¹ tn Heb “she will become nations.”

[17:16]  ² tn Heb “peoples.”

[22:3]  ³ tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”

[22:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “he arose and he went.”

[24:35]  ⁵ tn Heb “great.” In this context the statement refers primarily to Abraham’s material wealth, although reputation and influence are not excluded.

[24:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he.” The referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:23]  ⁷ sn By metonymy the two children in her womb are described as two nations of which the two children, Jacob and Esau, would become the fathers. The language suggests there would be a struggle between these nations, with one being stronger than the other. The oracle reveals that all of Jacob’s scheming was unnecessary in the final analysis. He would have become the dominant nation without using deception to steal his brother’s blessing.

[30:30]  ⁸ tn Or “for.”

[30:30]  ⁹ tn Heb “before me.”

[30:30]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and it has broken out with respect to abundance.”

[30:30]  ¹¹ tn Heb “at my foot.”

[30:30]  ¹² tn Heb “How long [until] I do, also I, for my house?”

[42:25]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ 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).

[42:34]  ¹⁵ tn After the imperative, the cohortative with prefixed vav indicates purpose/result.

[42:34]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “that you are not spies, that you are honest men.”

[42:34]  ¹⁷ sn Joseph’s brothers soften the news considerably, making it sound like Simeon was a guest of Joseph (Leave one of your brothers with me) instead of being bound in prison. They do not mention the threat of death and do not at this time speak of the money in the one sack.

[43:32]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “them”; the referent (Joseph’s brothers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[43:32]  ¹⁹ tn Or “disgraceful.” The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “abomination”) describes something that is loathsome or off-limits. For other practices the Egyptians considered disgusting, see Gen 46:34 and Exod 8:22.

[43:32]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and they set for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, for the Egyptians are not able to eat food with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination for the Egyptians.” The imperfect verbal form in the explanatory clause is taken as habitual in force, indicating a practice that was still in effect in the narrator’s time.

[43:32]  sn That the Egyptians found eating with foreigners disgusting is well-attested in extra-biblical literature by writers like Herodotus, Diodorus, and Strabo.

[47:18]  ²¹ tn Heb “my.” The expression “my lord” occurs twice more in this verse.
