[8:17]  ² tn Following the Hiphil imperative, “bring out,” the three perfect verb forms with vav (ו) consecutive carry an imperatival nuance. For a discussion of the Hebrew construction here and the difficulty of translating it into English, see S. R. Driver, A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew, 124-25.

[8:17]  ³ tn Heb “and let them swarm in the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

[42:33]  ⁴ tn The word “grain” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
