[21:19]  ¹ tn Heb “And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.” The referent (Hagar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:25]  ² tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to argue; to dispute”; it can focus on the beginning of the dispute (as here), the dispute itself, or the resolution of a dispute (Isa 1:18). Apparently the complaint was lodged before the actual oath was taken.

[21:25]  ³ tn Heb “concerning the matter of the well of water.”

[21:25]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew verb used here means “to steal; to rob; to take violently.” The statement reflects Abraham’s perspective.

[21:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “that it be for me for a witness.”

[21:30]  ⁶ sn This well. Since the king wanted a treaty to share in Abraham’s good fortune, Abraham used the treaty to secure ownership of and protection for the well he dug. It would be useless to make a treaty to live in this territory if he had no rights to the water. Abraham consented to the treaty, but added his rider to it.

[26:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the Philistines stopped them up and filled them with dirt.”

[26:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “he returned and dug,” meaning “he dug again” or “he reopened.”

[26:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “that they dug.” Since the subject is indefinite, the verb is translated as passive.

[26:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the Philistines had stopped them up.” This clause explains why Isaac had to reopen them.

[26:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:18]  ¹² tn Heb “them”; the referent (the wells) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:18]  ¹³ tn Heb “called names to them according to the names that his father called them.”

[26:19]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “living.” This expression refers to a well supplied by subterranean streams (see Song 4:15).

[26:22]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and he called its name.”

[26:22]  ¹⁷ sn The name Rehoboth (רְהֹבוֹת, rehovot) is derived from a verbal root meaning “to make room.” The name was a reminder that God had made room for them. The story shows Isaac’s patience with the opposition; it also shows how God’s blessing outdistanced the men of Gerar. They could not stop it or seize it any longer.

[26:32]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and they said to him, ‘We have found water.’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
