[2:21]  ¹ tn Heb “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man.”

[2:21]  ² tn Heb “and he slept.” In the sequence the verb may be subordinated to the following verb to indicate a temporal clause (“while…”).

[2:21]  ³ tn Traditionally translated “rib,” the Hebrew word actually means “side.” The Hebrew text reads, “and he took one from his sides,” which could be rendered “part of his sides.” That idea may fit better the explanation by the man that the woman is his flesh and bone.

[2:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “closed up the flesh under it.”

[24:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and every good thing of his master was in his hand.” The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, explaining that he took all kinds of gifts to be used at his discretion.

[24:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he arose and went.”

[24:10]  ⁷ tn The words “the region of” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:10]  sn Aram Naharaim means in Hebrew “Aram of the Two Rivers,” a region in northern Mesopotamia.

[24:22]  ⁸ sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).

[24:22]  ⁹ sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).

[24:22]  ¹⁰ tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[24:65]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and she said to.”

[24:65]  ¹² tn Heb “the servant.” The word “Abraham’s” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:65]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the servant said.” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[31:34]  ¹⁴ tn The “camel’s saddle” was probably some sort of basket-saddle, a cushioned saddle with a basket bound on. Cf. NAB “inside a camel cushion.”

[31:34]  ¹⁵ tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by a vav [ו] conjunction) provides another parenthetical statement necessary to the storyline.

[31:34]  ¹⁶ tn The word “them” has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

[42:24]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he turned to them and spoke to them.”

[42:24]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “took Simeon.” This was probably done at Joseph’s command, however; the grand vizier of Egypt would not have personally seized a prisoner.

[42:24]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and he bound him.” See the note on the preceding verb “taken.”
