[1:29]  ¹ tn The words “the others were” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:50]  ² tn Heb “son.” The Hebrew text has the singular, but the following list contains more than one name.

[2:50]  ³ tn The Hebrew text reads “Ephrathah” here, but see v. 19, which mentions “Ephrath” as the wife of Hur.

[2:3]  ³ tn The name means “daughter of Shua.” Shua is identified in Gen 38:2 as a “Canaanite man.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so he [i.e., the Lord] killed him [i.e., Er].”

[5:1]  ⁴ sn The phrase when he defiled his father’s bed refers to Reuben having sexual relations with his father Jacob’s concubine Bilhah. This incident is recorded in Gen 35:22.

[5:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “and not to be listed in the genealogical records as (having) the right of the firstborn.”
