[12:15]  ¹ tn Heb “and the woman.” The word also means “wife”; the Hebrew article can express the possessive pronoun (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 19, §86). Here the proper name (Abram) has been used in the translation instead of a possessive pronoun (“his”) for clarity.

[12:15]  ² tn The Hebrew term וַתֻּקַּח (vattuqqakh, “was taken”) is a rare verbal form, an old Qal passive preterite from the verb “to take.” It is pointed as a Hophal would be by the Masoretes, but does not have a Hophal meaning.

[12:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew text simply has “house of Pharaoh.” The word “house” refers to the household in general, more specifically to the royal harem.

[20:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “And Abimelech rose early in the morning and he summoned.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the preposition לְ (lamed) means “to summon.”

[20:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “And he spoke all these things in their ears.”

[20:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “the men.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “they” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[26:2]  ⁸ sn Do not go down to Egypt. The words echo Gen 12:10, which reports that “Abram went down to Egypt,” but state the opposite.

[26:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “say to you.”

[46:28]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[46:28]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to direct before him to Goshen.”
