Genesis 40:10

40:10 On the vine there were three branches. As it budded, its blossoms opened and its clusters ripened into grapes.

Genesis 19:20

19:20 Look, this town ¹  over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s just a little one. ²  Let me go there. ³  It’s just a little place, isn’t it? ⁴  Then I’ll survive.” ⁵ 

Genesis 20:5

20:5 Did Abraham ⁶  not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ⁷  ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this with a clear conscience ⁸  and with innocent hands!”

Genesis 38:25

38:25 While they were bringing her out, she sent word ⁹  to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these belong.” ¹⁰  Then she said, “Identify ¹¹  the one to whom the seal, cord, and staff belong.”

¹ tn The Hebrew word עִיר (’ir) can refer to either a city or a town, depending on the size of the place. Given that this place was described by Lot later in this verse as a “little place,” the translation uses “town.”

² tn Heb “Look, this town is near to flee to there. And it is little.”

³ tn Heb “Let me escape to there.” The cohortative here expresses Lot’s request.

⁴ tn Heb “Is it not little?”

⁵ tn Heb “my soul will live.” After the cohortative the jussive with vav conjunctive here indicates purpose/result.

¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “and she, even she.”

³ tn Heb “with the integrity of my heart.”

¹ tn Heb “she was being brought out and she sent.” The juxtaposition of two clauses, both of which place the subject before the predicate, indicates synchronic action.

² tn Heb “who these to him.”

³ tn Or “ recognize; note.” This same Hebrew verb (נָכַר, nakhar) is used at the beginning of v. 26, where it is translated “recognized.”
