[1:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the expanse.”

[1:7]  ² tn This statement indicates that it happened the way God designed it, underscoring the connection between word and event.

[2:2]  ³ tn Heb “on/in the seventh day.”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “his work which he did [or “made”].”

[2:2]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term שָׁבַּת (shabbat) can be translated “to rest” (“and he rested”) but it basically means “to cease.” This is not a rest from exhaustion; it is the cessation of the work of creation.

[7:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “two two” meaning “in twos.”

[9:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “sign.”

[9:12]  ⁸ sn On the making of covenants in Genesis, see W. F. Albright, “The Hebrew Expression for ‘Making a Covenant’ in Pre-Israelite Documents,” BASOR 121 (1951): 21-22.

[9:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “between me and between you.”

[9:12]  ¹⁰ tn The words “a covenant” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[9:12]  ¹¹ tn The Hebrew term עוֹלָם (’olam) means “ever, forever, lasting, perpetual.” The covenant would extend to subsequent generations.

[9:17]  ¹² tn Heb “all flesh.”

[14:24]  ¹³ tn The words “I will take nothing” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[14:24]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “except only what the young men have eaten.”

[23:9]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “give.” This is used here (also a second time later in this verse) as an idiom for “sell”; see the note on the word “grant” in v. 4.

[23:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in your presence.”

[23:9]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “silver.”

[24:3]  ¹⁸ tn Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose.

[24:3]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “because you must not take.”

[28:22]  ²⁰ tn The disjunctive clause structure (conjunction + noun/subject) is used to highlight the statement.

[28:22]  ²¹ tn The infinitive absolute is used before the finite verb for emphasis.

[28:22]  ²² tn Heb “and all which you give to me I will surely give a tenth of it to you.” The disjunctive clause structure (conjunction + noun/object) highlights this statement as well.

[30:26]  ²³ tn Heb “give my wives and my children, for whom I have served you.” In one sense Laban had already “given” Jacob his two daughters as wives (Gen 29:21, 28). Here Jacob was asking for permission to take his own family along with him on the journey back to Canaan.

[30:26]  ²⁴ tn Following the imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[30:26]  ²⁵ tn Heb “for you, you know my service [with] which I have served you.”

[30:38]  ²⁶ sn He put the branches in front of the flocks…when they came to drink. It was generally believed that placing such “visual aids” before the animals as they were mating, it was possible to influence the appearance of their offspring. E. A. Speiser notes that “Jacob finds a way to outwit his father-in-law, through prenatal conditioning of the flock by visual aids – in conformance with universal folk beliefs” (Genesis [AB], 238). Nevertheless, in spite of Jacob’s efforts at animal husbandry, he still attributes the resulting success to God (see 31:5).

[34:28]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and what was in the city and what was in the field they took.”

[35:2]  ²⁸ tn Heb “which are in your midst.”

[35:2]  ²⁹ sn The actions of removing false gods, becoming ritually clean, and changing garments would become necessary steps in Israel when approaching the Lord in worship.

[35:6]  ³⁰ map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[35:6]  ³¹ tn Heb “and Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan – it is Bethel – he and all the people who were with him.”

[38:18]  ³² tn Heb “and he went to her.” This expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[44:5]  ³³ tn Heb “Is this not what my master drinks from.” The word “cup” is not in the Hebrew text, but is obviously the referent of “this,” and so has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[44:5]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and he, divining, divines with it.” The infinitive absolute is emphatic, stressing the importance of the cup to Joseph.

[44:5]  ³⁵ tn Heb “you have caused to be evil what you have done.”

[44:15]  ³⁶ tn Heb “What is this deed you have done?” The demonstrative pronoun (“this”) adds emphasis to the question. A literal translation seems to contradict the following statement, in which Joseph affirms that he is able to divine such matters. Thus here the emotive force of the question has been reflected in the translation, “What did you think you were doing?”

[44:15]  ³⁷ tn Heb “[is] fully able to divine,” meaning that he can find things out by divination. The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis, stressing his ability to do this.

[49:28]  ³⁸ tn Heb “All these.”

[49:28]  ³⁹ tn Heb “and he blessed them, each of whom according to his blessing, he blessed them.”
