[24:25]  ¹ tn Heb “and she said, ‘We have plenty of both straw and feed.’” The order of the introductory clause has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:25]  ² tn Heb The words “for you” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[13:6]  ³ tn The potential nuance for the perfect tense is necessary here, and supported by the parallel clause that actually uses “to be able.”

[13:6]  ⁴ tn The infinitive construct לָשֶׁבֶת (lashevet, from יָשַׁב, yashav) explains what it was that the land could not support: “the land could not support them to live side by side.” See further J. C. de Moor, “Lexical Remarks Concerning Yahad and Yahdaw,” VT 7 (1957): 350-55.

[13:6]  ⁵ tn The same infinitive occurs here, serving as the object of the verb.

[36:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “land of their settlements.”

[50:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “you devised against me evil.”

[50:20]  ⁸ tn Heb “God devised it for good in order to do, like this day, to preserve alive a great nation.”
