Kejadian 22:3

[1:21] 1 tn For the first time in the narrative proper the verb “create” (בָּרָא, bara’) appears. (It is used in the summary statement of v. 1.) The author wishes to underscore that these creatures – even the great ones – are part of God’s perfect creation. The Hebrew term תַנִּינִם (tanninim) is used for snakes (Exod 7:9), crocodiles (Ezek 29:3), or other powerful animals (Jer 51:34). In Isa 27:1 the word is used to describe a mythological sea creature that symbolizes God’s enemies.
[6:16] 3 tn Heb “to a cubit you shall finish it from above.” The idea is that Noah was to leave an 18-inch opening from the top for a window for light.
[7:23] 4 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the
[7:23] 5 tn Heb “wiped away” (cf. NRSV “blotted out”).
[7:23] 6 tn Heb “from man to animal to creeping thing and to the bird of the sky.”
[7:23] 7 tn The Hebrew verb שָׁאָר (sha’ar) means “to be left over; to survive” in the Niphal verb stem. It is the word used in later biblical texts for the remnant that escapes judgment. See G. F. Hasel, “Semantic Values of Derivatives of the Hebrew Root só’r,” AUSS 11 (1973): 152-69.
[11:6] 8 tn Heb “and one lip to all of them.”
[11:6] 9 tn Heb “and now.” The foundational clause beginning with הֵן (hen) expresses the condition, and the second clause the result. It could be rendered “If this…then now.”
[11:6] 10 tn Heb “all that they purpose to do will not be withheld from them.”

[12:8] 12 tn Heb “he called in the name of the
[14:14] 13 tn Heb “his brother,” by extension, “relative.” Here and in v. 16 the more specific term “nephew” has been used in the translation for clarity. Lot was the son of Haran, Abram’s brother (Gen 11:27).
[14:14] 14 tn The verb וַיָּרֶק (vayyareq) is a rare form, probably related to the word רֵיק (req, “to be empty”). If so, it would be a very figurative use: “he emptied out” (or perhaps “unsheathed”) his men. The LXX has “mustered” (cf. NEB). E. A. Speiser (Genesis [AB], 103-4) suggests reading with the Samaritan Pentateuch a verb diq, cognate with Akkadian deku, “to mobilize” troops. If this view is accepted, one must assume that a confusion of the Hebrew letters ד (dalet) and ר (resh) led to the error in the traditional Hebrew text. These two letters are easily confused in all phases of ancient Hebrew script development. The present translation is based on this view.
[14:14] 15 tn The words “the invaders” have been supplied in the translation for clarification.
[14:14] 16 sn The use of the name Dan reflects a later perspective. The Danites did not migrate to this northern territory until centuries later (see Judg 18:29). Furthermore Dan was not even born until much later. By inserting this name a scribe has clarified the location of the region.
[16:5] 17 tn Heb “my wrong is because of you.”
[16:5] 18 tn Heb “I placed my female servant in your bosom.”
[16:5] 20 tn Heb “I was despised in her eyes.” The passive verb has been translated as active for stylistic reasons. Sarai was made to feel supplanted and worthless by Hagar the servant girl.
[16:5] 21 tn Heb “me and you.”
[16:5] sn May the
[22:3] 22 tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”
[22:3] 23 tn Heb “he arose and he went.”
[27:46] 24 tn Heb “loathe my life.” The Hebrew verb translated “loathe” refers to strong disgust (see Lev 20:23).
[27:46] 25 tn Some translate the Hebrew term “Heth” as “Hittites” here (see also Gen 23:3), but this gives the impression that these people were the classical Hittites of Anatolia. However, there is no known connection between these sons of Heth, apparently a Canaanite group (see Gen 10:15), and the Hittites of Asia Minor. See H. A. Hoffner, Jr., “Hittites,” Peoples of the Old Testament World, 152-53.
[27:46] 26 tn Heb “If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, why to me life?”
[30:30] 28 tn Heb “before me.”
[30:30] 29 tn Heb “and it has broken out with respect to abundance.”
[30:30] 30 tn Heb “at my foot.”
[30:30] 31 tn Heb “How long [until] I do, also I, for my house?”
[36:6] 32 tn Heb “from before.”
[39:9] 33 tn The nuance of potential imperfect fits this context.
[42:16] 34 tn Heb “send from you one and let him take.” After the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose.
[42:16] 35 tn The disjunctive clause is here circumstantial-temporal.
[42:16] 37 tn The words “to see” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[42:16] 38 tn Heb “the truth [is] with you.”
[45:18] 39 tn After the imperatives in vv. 17-18a, the cohortative with vav indicates result.
[45:18] 40 tn After the cohortative the imperative with vav states the ultimate goal.
