[11:20] 1 tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”
[11:20] 2 tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.
[11:19] 3 tn Heb “and Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh.”
[11:19] 4 tn Heb “and he gave to him a wife, the sister of his wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.”
