[19:26]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:26]  ² tn The Hebrew verb means “to look intently; to gaze” (see 15:5).

[25:21]  ³ tn The Hebrew verb עָתַר (’atar), translated “prayed [to]” here, appears in the story of God’s judgment on Egypt in which Moses asked the Lord to remove the plagues. The cognate word in Arabic means “to slaughter for sacrifice,” and the word is used in Zeph 3:10 to describe worshipers who bring offerings. Perhaps some ritual accompanied Isaac’s prayer here.
