[1:30]  ¹ tn The phrase “I give” is not in the Hebrew text but has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[19:16]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ³ tn Heb “in the compassion of the Lord to them.”

[19:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “brought him out and placed him.” The third masculine singular suffixes refer specifically to Lot, though his wife and daughters accompanied him (see v. 17). For stylistic reasons these have been translated as plural pronouns (“them”).

[25:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sons of the concubines who [belonged] to Abraham.”

[25:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “And he sent them away from upon Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward to the land of the east.”

[31:50]  ⁸ tn Heb “between me and you.”

[38:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “offspring.”

[38:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “would not be his,” that is, legally speaking. Under the levirate system the child would be legally considered the child of his deceased brother.

[38:9]  ¹¹ tn The construction shows that this was a repeated practice and not merely one action.

[38:9]  sn The text makes it clear that the purpose of the custom was to produce an heir for the deceased brother. Onan had no intention of doing that. But he would have sex with the girl as much as he wished. He was willing to use the law to gratify his desires, but was not willing to do the responsible thing.

[38:9]  ¹² tn Heb “he went to.” This expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[38:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “he spoiled [his semen] to the ground.” Onan withdrew prematurely and ejaculated on the ground to prevent his brother’s widow from becoming pregnant.

[40:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “a dream we dreamed.”

[40:8]  ¹⁵ tn The word “them” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
