[2:15]  1 tn The Hebrew verb נוּחַ (nuakh, translated here as “placed”) is a different verb than the one used in 2:8.

[2:15]  2 tn Traditionally translated “the Garden of Eden,” the context makes it clear that the garden (or orchard) was in Eden (making “Eden” a genitive of location).

[2:15]  3 tn Heb “to work it and to keep it.”

[19:16]  4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  5 tn Heb “in the compassion of the Lord to them.”

[19:16]  6 tn Heb “brought him out and placed him.” The third masculine singular suffixes refer specifically to Lot, though his wife and daughters accompanied him (see v. 17). For stylistic reasons these have been translated as plural pronouns (“them”).
