[2:15]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.

[2:15]  ² tn Traditionally translated “the Garden of Eden,” the context makes it clear that the garden (or orchard) was in Eden (making “Eden” a genitive of location).

[2:15]  ³ tn Heb “to work it and to keep it.”

[2:15]  sn Note that man’s task is to care for and maintain the trees of the orchard. Not until after the fall, when he is condemned to cultivate the soil, does this task change.

[3:3]  ⁴ sn And you must not touch it. The woman adds to God’s prohibition, making it say more than God expressed. G. von Rad observes that it is as though she wanted to set a law for herself by means of this exaggeration (Genesis [OTL], 86).

[3:3]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew construction is פֶּן (pen) with the imperfect tense, which conveys a negative purpose: “lest you die” = “in order that you not die.” By stating the warning in this way, the woman omits the emphatic infinitive used by God (“you shall surely die,” see 2:17).

[6:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “to keep alive.”

[7:3]  ⁷ tn Or “seven pairs” (cf. NRSV).

[7:3]  ⁸ tn Here (and in v. 9) the Hebrew text uses the normal generic terms for “male and female” (זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, zakhar unÿqevah).

[7:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “to keep alive offspring.”

[24:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:56]  ¹² tn After the preceding imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[28:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “El Shaddai.” See the extended note on the phrase “sovereign God” in Gen 17:1.

[28:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and make you fruitful and multiply you.” See Gen 17:6, 20 for similar terminology.

[28:3]  ¹⁵ tn The perfect verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive here indicates consequence. The collocation הָיָה + preposition לְ (hayah + lÿ) means “become.”

[28:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

[33:8]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Esau) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:8]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Who to you?”

[33:8]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “all this camp which I met.”

[33:8]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[41:33]  ²³ tn Heb “and let him set him.”
