[10:8]  1 tn Heb “fathered.” Embedded within Cush’s genealogy is an account of Nimrod, a mighty warrior. There have been many attempts to identify him, but none are convincing.

[25:33]  2 tn Heb “Swear to me today.”

[25:33]  3 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Esau) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:33]  4 sn And sold his birthright. There is evidence from Hurrian culture that rights of inheritance were occasionally sold or transferred. Here Esau is portrayed as a profane person who would at the moment rather have a meal than the right to inherit. He will soon forget this trade and seek his father’s blessing in spite of it.

[28:19]  3 tn The name Bethel means “house of God” in Hebrew (see v. 17).
