Kejadian 24:64

24:64 Rebekah looked up ¹  and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel

Kejadian 21:19

21:19 Then God enabled Hagar to see a well of water. ²  She went over and filled the skin with water, and then gave the boy a drink.

Kejadian 39:7

39:7 Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of ³  Joseph and said, “Have sex with me.” ⁴ 

[24:64]  ¹ tn Heb “lifted up her eyes.”

[21:19]  ² tn Heb “And God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water.” The referent (Hagar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[39:7]  ³ tn Heb “she lifted up her eyes toward,” an expression that emphasizes her deliberate and careful scrutiny of him.

[39:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “lie with me.” Here the expression “lie with” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[39:7]  sn The story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife has long been connected with the wisdom warnings about the strange woman who tries to seduce the young man with her boldness and directness (see Prov 5-7, especially 7:6-27). This is part of the literary background of the story of Joseph that gives it a wisdom flavor. See G. von Rad, God at Work in Israel, 19-35; and G. W. Coats, “The Joseph Story and Ancient Wisdom: A Reappraisal,” CBQ 35 (1973): 285-97.
