[18:33]  ¹ tn Heb “And the Lord went.”

[18:33]  ² tn The infinitive construct (“speaking”) serves as the direct object of the verb “finished.”

[18:33]  ³ tn Heb “to his place.”

[22:11]  ⁴ sn Heb “the messenger of the Lord” (also in v. 15). Some identify the angel of the Lord as the preincarnate Christ because in some texts the angel is identified with the Lord himself. However, see the note on the phrase “the Lord’s angel” in Gen 16:7.

[24:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “days.”

[24:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “Abraham.” The proper name has been replaced in the translation by the pronoun (“he”) for stylistic reasons.

[25:10]  ¹⁰ tn See the note on the phrase “sons of Heth” in Gen 23:3.

[25:12]  ¹³ sn This is the account of Ishmael. The Book of Genesis tends to tidy up the family records at every turning point. Here, before proceeding with the story of Isaac’s family, the narrative traces Ishmael’s family line. Later, before discussing Jacob’s family, the narrative traces Esau’s family line (see Gen 36).

[25:19]  ¹⁶ sn This is the account of Isaac. What follows for several chapters is not the account of Isaac, except briefly, but the account of Jacob and Esau. The next chapters tell what became of Isaac and his family.

[21:24]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “I swear.” No object is specified in the Hebrew text, but the content of the oath requested by Abimelech is the implied object.

[21:34]  ²² tn Heb “many days.”

[25:1]  ²⁵ tn Or “took.”

[25:1]  ²⁶ tn Heb “And Abraham added and took.”
