[4:32]  ¹ tn Heb “spoke.”

[13:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and they saddled [it].”

[4:33]  ¹ tn Heb “he spoke about plants.”

[4:33]  ² tn Heb “he spoke about.”

[13:12]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).

[13:12]  ² tn Heb “the man of God.”

[12:7]  ¹ tn Heb “If today you are a servant to these people and you serve them and answer them and speak to them good words, they will be your servants all the days.”

[12:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and spoke to them according to.”

[12:14]  ² tn Heb “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke.”

[12:14]  ³ tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I will punish you with scorpions.” See the note on the same phrase in v. 11.

[21:6]  ¹ tn Heb “While I was talking…, I said…, he said….” Ahab’s explanation is one lengthy sentence in the Hebrew text, which is divided in the English translation for stylistic reasons.

[21:2]  ¹ tn Heb “if it is good in your eyes.”

[21:2]  ² tc The Old Greek translation includes the following words: “And it will be mine as a garden of herbs.”
