[11:2]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:2]  ² tn Or perhaps “from the east” (NRSV) or “in the east.”

[11:2]  ³ tn Heb “in the land of Shinar.”

[11:2]  sn Shinar is the region of Babylonia.

[17:2]  ⁴ tn Following the imperative, the cohortative indicates consequence. If Abram is blameless, then the Lord will ratify the covenant. Earlier the Lord ratified part of his promise to Abram (see Gen 15:18-21), guaranteeing him that his descendants would live in the land. But the expanded form of the promise, which includes numerous descendants and eternal possession of the land, remains to be ratified. This expanded form of the promise is in view here (see vv. 2b, 4-8). See the note at Gen 15:18 and R. B. Chisholm, “Evidence from Genesis,” A Case for Premillennialism, 35-54.

[17:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will multiply you exceedingly, exceedingly.” The repetition is emphatic.

[17:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “the son of ninety-nine years.”

[17:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin” (also in v. 25).

[27:34]  ⁸ tn The temporal clause is introduced with the temporal indicator and has the infinitive as its verb.

[27:34]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he yelled [with] a great and bitter yell to excess.”

[28:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “El Shaddai.” See the extended note on the phrase “sovereign God” in Gen 17:1.

[28:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and make you fruitful and multiply you.” See Gen 17:6, 20 for similar terminology.

[28:3]  ¹² tn The perfect verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive here indicates consequence. The collocation הָיָה + preposition לְ (hayah + lÿ) means “become.”

[28:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

[35:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and they journeyed.”

[35:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and the fear of God was upon the cities which were round about them.” The expression “fear of God” apparently refers (1) to a fear of God (objective genitive; God is the object of their fear). (2) But it could mean “fear from God,” that is, fear which God placed in them (cf. NRSV “a terror from God”). Another option (3) is that the divine name is used as a superlative here, referring to “tremendous fear” (cf. NEB “were panic-stricken”; NASB “a great terror”).

[41:57]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “all the earth,” which refers here (by metonymy) to the people of the earth. Note that the following verb is plural in form, indicating that the inhabitants of the earth are in view.

[42:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “in the midst of the coming ones.”

[44:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Is this not what my master drinks from.” The word “cup” is not in the Hebrew text, but is obviously the referent of “this,” and so has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[44:5]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and he, divining, divines with it.” The infinitive absolute is emphatic, stressing the importance of the cup to Joseph.

[44:5]  ²⁰ tn Heb “you have caused to be evil what you have done.”

[47:13]  ²¹ tn The verb לַהַה (lahah, = לָאָה, la’ah) means “to faint, to languish”; it figuratively describes the land as wasting away, drooping, being worn out.
