[27:13]  ¹ tn Heb “upon me your curse.”

[27:13]  ² tn Heb “only listen to my voice.”

[27:1]  ³ tn The clause begins with the temporal indicator (“and it happened”), making it subordinate to the main clause that follows later in the sentence.

[27:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and his eyes were weak from seeing.”

[27:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “greater” (in terms of age).

[27:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Esau) is specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “And her days were filled to give birth.”

[25:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “look!” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the audience to view the scene as if they were actually present at the birth.

[27:25]  ⁹ tn Grk “answering, all the people said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
