[9:11]  ¹ tn The verb וַהֲקִמֹתִי (vahaqimoti) is a perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive and should be translated with the English present tense, just as the participle at the beginning of the speech was (v. 9). Another option is to translate both forms with the English future tense (“I will confirm”).

[9:11]  ² tn Heb “all flesh.”

[9:11]  ³ tn Heb “cut off.”

[9:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “and all flesh will not be cut off again by the waters of the flood.”

[29:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he told to Laban all these things.” This might mean Jacob told Laban how he happened to be there, but Laban’s response (see v. 14) suggests “all these things” refers to what Jacob had previously told Rachel (see v. 12).

[31:52]  ⁷ tn Heb “This pile is a witness and the pillar is a witness, if I go past this pile to you and if you go past this pile and this pillar to me for harm.”

[37:20]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word can sometimes carry the nuance “evil,” but when used of an animal it refers to a dangerous wild animal.

[37:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “what his dreams will be.”

[50:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and Joseph wept when they spoke to him.”
