Kejadian 6:7

6:7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – everything from humankind to animals, ¹  including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them.”

Kejadian 19:35

19:35 So they made their father drunk ²  that night as well, and the younger one came and had sexual relations with him. ³  But he was not aware that she had sexual relations with him and then got up. ⁴ 

Kejadian 29:8

29:8 “We can’t,” they said, “until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water ⁵  the sheep.”

Kejadian 34:14

34:14 They said to them, “We cannot give ⁶  our sister to a man who is not circumcised, for it would be a disgrace ⁷  to us.

Kejadian 37:8

37:8 Then his brothers asked him, “Do you really think you will rule over us or have dominion over us?” ⁸  They hated him even more ⁹  because of his dream and because of what he said. ¹⁰ 

Kejadian 42:13

42:13 They replied, “Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. ¹¹  We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, ¹²  and one is no longer alive.” ¹³ 

[6:7]  ¹ tn The text simply has “from man to beast, to creatures, and to birds of the air.” The use of the prepositions עַד…מִן (min...’ad) stresses the extent of the judgment in creation.

[19:35]  ² tn Heb “drink wine.”

[19:35]  ³ tn Heb “lied down with him.”

[19:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “And he did not know when she lied down and when she arose.”

[29:8]  ⁵ tn The perfect verbal forms with the vav (ו) consecutive carry on the sequence begun by the initial imperfect form.

[34:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “we are not able to do this thing, to give.” The second infinitive is in apposition to the first, explaining what they are not able to do.

[34:14]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew word translated “disgrace” usually means “ridicule; taunt; reproach.” It can also refer to the reason the condition of shame or disgrace causes ridicule or a reproach.

[37:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “Ruling, will you rule over us, or reigning, will you reign over us?” The statement has a poetic style, with the two questions being in synonymous parallelism. Both verbs in this statement are preceded by the infinitive absolute, which lends emphasis. It is as if Joseph’s brothers said, “You don’t really think you will rule over us, do you? You don’t really think you will have dominion over us, do you?”

[37:8]  ⁹ tn This construction is identical to the one in Gen 37:5.

[37:8]  ¹⁰ sn The response of Joseph’s brothers is understandable, given what has already been going on in the family. But here there is a hint of uneasiness – they hated him because of his dream and because of his words. The dream bothered them, as well as his telling them. And their words in the rhetorical question are ironic, for this is exactly what would happen. The dream was God’s way of revealing it.

[42:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “twelve [were] your servants, brothers [are] we.”

[42:13]  ¹² tn Heb “today.”

[42:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the one is not.”
