Kejadian 41:20

41:20 The lean, bad-looking cows ate up the seven ⁵  fat cows.

[7:20]  ¹ tn Heb “rose fifteen cubits.” Since a cubit is considered by most authorities to be about eighteen inches, this would make the depth 22.5 feet. This figure might give the modern reader a false impression of exactness, however, so in the translation the phrase “fifteen cubits” has been rendered “more than twenty feet.”

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “the waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward and they covered the mountains.” Obviously, a flood of twenty feet did not cover the mountains; the statement must mean the flood rose about twenty feet above the highest mountain.

[32:3]  ³ tn Heb “before him.”

[32:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “field.”

[41:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “the seven first fat cows.”
