[26:34]  ¹ tn The sentence begins with the temporal indicator (“and it happened”), making this clause subordinate to the next.

[26:34]  ² tn Heb “the son of forty years.”

[26:34]  ³ tn Heb “took as a wife.”

[27:46]  ⁴ tn Heb “loathe my life.” The Hebrew verb translated “loathe” refers to strong disgust (see Lev 20:23).

[27:46]  ⁵ tn Some translate the Hebrew term “Heth” as “Hittites” here (see also Gen 23:3), but this gives the impression that these people were the classical Hittites of Anatolia. However, there is no known connection between these sons of Heth, apparently a Canaanite group (see Gen 10:15), and the Hittites of Asia Minor. See H. A. Hoffner, Jr., “Hittites,” Peoples of the Old Testament World, 152-53.

[27:46]  ⁶ tn Heb “If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, why to me life?”

[28:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “to take for himself from there a wife.”

[28:6]  ⁸ tn The infinitive construct with the preposition and the suffix form a temporal clause.

[28:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “you must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”

[30:13]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew statement apparently means “with my happiness.”

[30:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “daughters.”

[30:13]  ¹² sn The name Asher (אָשֶׁר, ’asher) apparently means “happy one.” The name plays on the words used in the statement which appears earlier in the verse. Both the Hebrew noun and verb translated “happy” and “call me happy,” respectively, are derived from the same root as the name Asher.

[2:36]  ¹³ tn Heb “changing your way.” The translation follows the identification of the Hebrew verb here as a defective writing of a form (תֵּזְלִי [tezÿli] instead of תֵּאזְלִי [te’zÿli]) from a verb meaning “go/go about” (אָזַל [’azal]; cf. BDB 23 s.v. אָזַל). Most modern English versions, commentaries, and lexicons read it from a root meaning “to treat cheaply [or lightly]” (תָּזֵלִּי [tazelli] from the root זָלַל (zalal); cf. HALOT 261 s.v. זָלַל); hence, “Why do you consider it such a small matter to…”

[2:36]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “You will be ashamed/disappointed by Egypt, just as you were ashamed/ disappointed by Assyria.”

[5:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “will be wind.”

[5:13]  ¹⁶ tc Heb “the word is not in them.” The MT has a highly unusual form here, the Piel perfect with the definite article (הַדִּבֵּר, haddibber). It is undoubtedly best to read with the LXX (Greek version) and one Hebrew ms the article on the noun (הַדָּבָר, haddavar).

[2:5]  ¹⁷ tn Or “sensible.”

[2:5]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “domestic,” “keeping house.”

[2:5]  ¹⁹ tn Or “word.”

[2:5]  ²⁰ tn Or “slandered.”
