[16:10]  1 tn Heb “The Lord’s angel said, ‘I will greatly multiply your descendants….” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[16:10]  2 tn Heb “cannot be numbered because of abundance.”

[27:12]  3 tn Heb “Perhaps my father will feel me and I will be in his eyes like a mocker.” The Hebrew expression “I will be in his eyes like” means “I would appear to him as.”

[27:23]  5 tn Heb “and he blessed him.” The referents of the pronouns “he” (Isaac) and “him” (Jacob) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[42:20]  7 tn The imperfect here has an injunctive force.

[42:20]  8 tn After the injunctive imperfect, this imperfect with vav indicates purpose or result.

[42:20]  9 tn The Niphal form of the verb has the sense of “to be faithful; to be sure; to be reliable.” Joseph will test his brothers to see if their words are true.

[44:28]  9 tn Heb “went forth from me.”
