[27:8]  1 tn Heb “listen to my voice.” The Hebrew idiom means “to comply; to obey.”

[27:8]  2 tn Heb “to that which I am commanding you.”

[27:9]  3 tn Following the imperative, the cohortative (with the prefixed conjunction) indicates purpose or result.

[27:10]  4 tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive. It carries forward the tone of instruction initiated by the command to “go…and get” in the preceding verse.

[27:10]  5 tn The form is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; it carries the future nuance of the preceding verbs of instruction, but by switching the subject to Jacob, indicates the expected result of the subterfuge.

[27:10]  6 tn Heb “so that.” The conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[27:11]  7 tn Heb “And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, ‘Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, but I am a smooth [skinned] man.’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[27:2]  8 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Isaac) is specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:2]  9 tn The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here introduces a logically foundational statement, upon which the coming instruction will be based.

[27:2]  10 tn Heb “I do not know the day of my death.”

[22:3]  11 tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”

[22:3]  12 tn Heb “he arose and he went.”

[22:4]  13 tn Heb “lifted up his eyes and saw.”

[19:2]  14 sn Lions probably refer to Judahite royalty and/or nobility. The lioness appears to symbolize the Davidic dynasty, though some see the referent as Hamutal, the wife of Josiah and mother of Jehoahaz and Zedekiah. Gen 49:9 seems to be the background for Judah being compared to lions.

[19:3]  15 tn Heb “a man.”
