[7:14] 1 tn The verb “entered” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[7:14] 2 tn Heb “every bird, every wing.”
[14:23] 3 tn The oath formula is elliptical, reading simply: “…if I take.” It is as if Abram says, “[May the
[14:23] 4 tn The Hebrew text adds the independent pronoun (“I”) to the verb form for emphasis.
[17:12] 5 tn Heb “the son of eight days.”
[18:24] 6 tn Heb “lift up,” perhaps in the sense of “bear with” (cf. NRSV “forgive”).
[19:4] 7 tn The verb שָׁכַב (shakhav) means “to lie down, to recline,” that is, “to go to bed.” Here what appears to be an imperfect is a preterite after the adverb טֶרֶם (terem). The nuance of potential (perfect) fits well.

[43:14] 15 sn Several Jewish commentators suggest that the expression your other brother refers to Joseph. This would mean that Jacob prophesied unwittingly. However, it is much more likely that Simeon is the referent of the phrase “your other brother” (see Gen 42:24).
[43:14] 16 tn Heb “if I am bereaved I am bereaved.” With this fatalistic sounding statement Jacob resolves himself to the possibility of losing both Benjamin and Simeon.
[47:30] 17 tn Heb “lie down.” Here the expression “lie down” refers to death.
[47:30] 18 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
