[24:40]  1 tn The verb is the Hitpael of הָלַךְ (halakh), meaning “live one’s life” (see Gen 17:1). The statement may simply refer to serving the Lord or it may have a more positive moral connotation (“serve faithfully”).

[41:43]  2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Pharaoh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[41:43]  3 tn Heb “and he caused him to ride in the second chariot which was his.”

[41:43]  4 tn The verb form appears to be a causative imperative from a verbal root meaning “to kneel.” It is a homonym of the word “bless” (identical in root letters but not related etymologically).

[48:15]  3 tn Heb “shepherded me.” The verb has been translated as an English noun for stylistic reasons.
