Genesis 18:33

18:33 The Lord went on his way ¹  when he had finished speaking ²  to Abraham. Then Abraham returned home. ³ 

Genesis 21:15

21:15 When the water in the skin was gone, she shoved ⁴  the child under one of the shrubs.

Genesis 44:12

44:12 Then the man ⁵  searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack!

¹ tn Heb “And the Lord went.”

² tn The infinitive construct (“speaking”) serves as the direct object of the verb “finished.”

³ tn Heb “to his place.”

⁴ tn Heb “threw,” but the child, who was now thirteen years old, would not have been carried, let alone thrown under a bush. The exaggerated language suggests Ishmael is limp from dehydration and is being abandoned to die. See G. J. Wenham, Genesis (WBC), 2:85.

⁷ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the man who was in charge of Joseph’s household) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
