[19:27]  ¹ tn The words “and went” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[20:8]  ² tn Heb “And Abimelech rose early in the morning and he summoned.”

[20:8]  ³ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the preposition לְ (lamed) means “to summon.”

[20:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “And he spoke all these things in their ears.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “the men.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “they” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  ³ tn Heb “and he got up early…and he took.”

[28:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:18]  ⁵ tn See the note on this phrase in v. 11.

[28:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “standing stone.”

[31:55]  ⁴ sn Beginning with 31:55, the verse numbers in the English Bible through 32:32 differ by one from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 31:55 ET = 32:1 HT, 32:1 ET = 32:2 HT, etc., through 32:32 ET = 32:33 HT. From 33:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[31:55]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Laban got up early in the morning and he kissed.”

[31:55]  ⁶ tn Heb “his sons.”

[31:55]  ⁷ tn Heb “to his place.”

[21:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “and Abraham rose up early in the morning and he took.”

[21:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “bread,” although the term can be used for food in general.

[21:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “He put upon her shoulder, and the boy [or perhaps, “and with the boy”], and he sent her away.” It is unclear how “and the boy” relates syntactically to what precedes. Perhaps the words should be rearranged and the text read, “and he put [them] on her shoulder and he gave to Hagar the boy.”

[21:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “she went and wandered.”

[21:14]  ⁹ tn Or “desert,” although for English readers this usually connotes a sandy desert like the Sahara rather than the arid wasteland of this region with its sparse vegetation.

[22:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”

[22:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “he arose and he went.”
