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

[7:21]  ² tn Heb “flesh.”

[8:17]  ³ tn The words “bring out” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:17]  ⁴ tn Following the Hiphil imperative, “bring out,” the three perfect verb forms with vav (ו) consecutive carry an imperatival nuance. For a discussion of the Hebrew construction here and the difficulty of translating it into English, see S. R. Driver, A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew, 124-25.

[8:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and let them swarm in the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

[12:6]  ⁶ tn Or “terebinth.”

[12:6]  ⁷ sn The Hebrew word Moreh (מוֹרֶה, moreh) means “teacher.” It may well be that the place of this great oak tree was a Canaanite shrine where instruction took place.

[12:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the oak of Moreh.”

[12:6]  ⁹ tn The disjunctive clause gives important information parenthetical in nature – the promised land was occupied by Canaanites.

[18:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “terebinths.”

[18:1]  ¹² tn The disjunctive clause here is circumstantial to the main clause.

[18:1]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew noun translated “entrance” is an adverbial accusative of place.

[23:9]  ¹⁴ 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]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “in your presence.”

[23:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “silver.”

[24:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “well of water.”

[24:11]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “at the time of evening.”

[42:27]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the one.” The article indicates that the individual is vivid in the mind of the narrator, yet it is not important to identify him by name.

[42:27]  ²⁰ tn Heb “at the lodging place.”

[42:27]  ²¹ tn Heb “and look, it [was] in the mouth of his sack.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to look through the eyes of the character and thereby draws attention to the money.

[49:7]  ²² sn Divide…scatter. What is predicted here is a division of their tribes. Most commentators see here an anticipation of Levi being in every area but not their own. That may be part of it, but not entirely what the curse intended. These tribes for their ruthless cruelty would be eliminated from the power and prestige of leadership.
