[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.”

[21:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “cut a covenant.”

[22:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “in order to slaughter.”

[27:14]  ¹⁰ tn The words “the goats” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[27:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his mother.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “she” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[29:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “and it happened in the evening that he took Leah his daughter and brought her.”

[29:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to him”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:23]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “went in to her.” The expression “went in to” in this context refers to sexual intercourse, i.e., the consummation of the marriage.

[32:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:13]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

[32:13]  ¹⁸ sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).
