Genesis 21:22-23

21:22 At that time Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, said to Abraham, “God is with you ¹  in all that you do. 21:23 Now swear to me right here in God’s name ²  that you will not deceive me, my children, or my descendants. ³  Show me, and the land ⁴  where you are staying, ⁵  the same loyalty ⁶  that I have shown you.” ⁷ 

Genesis 39:5

39:5 From the time ⁸  Potiphar ⁹  appointed him over his household and over all that he owned, the Lord blessed ¹⁰  the Egyptian’s household for Joseph’s sake. The blessing of the Lord was on everything that he had, both ¹¹  in his house and in his fields. ¹²

Isaiah 45:14

The Lord is the Nations’ Only Hope

45:14 This is what the Lord says:

“The profit ¹⁴  of Egypt and the revenue ¹⁵  of Ethiopia,

along with the Sabeans, those tall men,

will be brought to you ¹⁶  and become yours.

They will walk behind you, coming along in chains. ¹⁷ 

They will bow down to you

and pray to you: ¹⁸ 

‘Truly God is with ¹⁹  you; he has no peer; ²⁰ 

there is no other God!’”

Isaiah 60:14

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ ²¹ 

Isaiah 61:6

61:6 You will be called, ‘the Lord’s priests,

Isaiah 61:9

61:9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,

their offspring among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize that

the Lord has blessed them.” ²⁶

Hebrews 13:5

13:5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.” ³⁰ 

[21:22]  ¹ sn God is with you. Abimelech and Phicol recognized that Abraham enjoyed special divine provision and protection.

[21:23]  ² tn Heb “And now swear to me by God here.”

[21:23]  ³ tn Heb “my offspring and my descendants.”

[21:23]  ⁴ tn The word “land” refers by metonymy to the people in the land.

[21:23]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew verb means “to stay, to live, to sojourn” as a temporary resident without ownership rights.

[21:23]  ⁶ tn Or “kindness.”

[21:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “According to the loyalty which I have done with you, do with me and with the land in which you are staying.”

[39:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “and it was from then.”

[39:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Potiphar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[39:5]  ¹⁰ sn The Hebrew word translated blessed carries the idea of enrichment, prosperity, success. It is the way believers describe success at the hand of God. The text illustrates the promise made to Abraham that whoever blesses his descendants will be blessed (Gen 12:1-3).

[39:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the house and in the field.” The word “both” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[39:5]  ¹² sn The passage gives us a good picture of Joseph as a young man who was responsible and faithful, both to his master and to his God. This happened within a very short time of his being sold into Egypt. It undermines the view that Joseph was a liar, a tattletale, and an arrogant adolescent.

[3:7]  ¹³ tn Or more literally, “to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel.”

[45:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “labor,” which stands metonymically for the fruits of labor, either “monetary profit,” or “products.”

[45:14]  ¹⁵ tn Or perhaps, “merchandise” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NAB “the gain of Ethiopia”; CEV “the treasures of Ethiopia.”

[45:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “they will pass over to you”; NASB, NIV “will come over to you”; CEV “will belong to you.”

[45:14]  ¹⁷ sn Restored Israel is depicted here in typical ancient Near Eastern fashion as an imperial power that receives riches and slaves as tribute.

[45:14]  ¹⁸ sn Israel’s vassals are portrayed as so intimidated and awed that they treat Israel as an intermediary to God or sub-deity.

[45:14]  ¹⁹ tn Or perhaps, “among.” Cf. KJV, ASV “Surely God is in thee.”

[45:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “there is no other” (so NIV, NRSV). The same phrase occurs at the end of v. 18, in v. 21, and at the end of v. 22.

[60:14]  ²¹ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

[61:6]  ²² tn The Hebrew text adds, “it will be said concerning you.”

[61:6]  ²³ tn Heb “eat” (KJV, NAB, NASB); NIV “feed on”; NLT “be fed with.”

[61:6]  ²⁴ tc The form in the Hebrew text is probably a corruption of יִתְאַמְּרוּ (yit’ammÿru), a Hitpael from אָמַר (’amar), meaning “boast about” (see HALOT 67 s.v. II אמר, HALOT 416 s.v. ימר, and BDB 56 s.v. אָמַר).

[61:6]  ²⁵ tn Heb “their glory” (i.e., riches).

[61:9]  ²⁶ tn Heb “all who see them will recognize them, that they [are] descendants [whom] the Lord has blessed.”

[8:1]  ²⁷ tc The earliest and best witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western texts, as well as a few others (א* B D* F G 6 1506 1739 1881 pc co), have no additional words for v. 1. Later scribes (A D¹ Ψ 81 365 629 pc vg) added the words μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν (mh kata sarka peripatousin, “who do not walk according to the flesh”), while even later ones (א² D² 33^vid Ï) added ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα (alla kata pneuma, “but [who do walk] according to the Spirit”). Both the external evidence and the internal evidence are compelling for the shortest reading. The scribes were evidently motivated to add such qualifications (interpolated from v. 4) to insulate Paul’s gospel from charges that it was characterized too much by grace. The KJV follows the longest reading found in Ï.

[1:25]  ²⁸ tn BDAG 697 s.v. οἰκονομία 1.b renders the term here as “divine office.”

[1:25]  ²⁹ tn See BDAG 828 s.v. πληρόω 3. The idea here seems to be that the apostle wants to “complete the word of God” in that he wants to preach it to every person in the known world (cf. Rom 15:19). See P. T. O’Brien, Colossians, Philemon (WBC), 82.
