47:4 Then they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to live as temporary residents ¹⁴  in the land. There ¹⁵  is no pasture for your servants’ flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen.”

[7:22]  ¹ tn Heb “everything which [has] the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils from all which is in the dry land.”

[10:8]  ² tn Heb “fathered.” Embedded within Cush’s genealogy is an account of Nimrod, a mighty warrior. There have been many attempts to identify him, but none are convincing.

[10:10]  ³ tn Heb “beginning.” E. A. Speiser, Genesis (AB), 67, suggests “mainstays,” citing Jer 49:35 as another text where the Hebrew noun is so used.

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Or “Babylon.”

[10:10]  ⁵ sn Erech (ancient Uruk, modern Warka), one of the most ancient civilizations, was located southeast of Babylon.

[10:10]  ⁶ sn Akkad, or ancient Agade, was associated with Sargon and located north of Babylon.

[10:10]  ⁷ tn No such place is known in Shinar (i.e., Babylonia). Therefore some have translated the Hebrew term כַלְנֵה (khalneh) as “all of them,” referring to the three previous names (cf. NRSV).

[10:10]  ⁸ sn Shinar is another name for Babylonia.

[22:9]  ⁹ sn Abraham built an altar there. The theme of Abraham’s altar building culminates here. He has been a faithful worshiper. Will he continue to worship when called upon to make such a radical sacrifice?

[22:9]  ¹⁰ sn Then he tied up. This text has given rise to an important theme in Judaism known as the Aqedah, from the Hebrew word for “binding.” When sacrifices were made in the sanctuary, God remembered the binding of Isaac, for which a substitute was offered. See D. Polish, “The Binding of Isaac,” Jud 6 (1957): 17-21.

[29:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “men.”

[36:9]  ¹² sn The term father in genealogical records needs to be carefully defined. It can refer to a literal father, a grandfather, a political overlord, or a founder.

[43:1]  ¹³ tn The disjunctive clause gives supplemental information that is important to the storyline.

[47:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to sojourn.”

[47:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “for there.” The Hebrew uses a causal particle to connect what follows with what precedes. The translation divides the statement into two sentences for stylistic reasons.
