Genesis 24:64

24:64 Rebekah looked up ¹  and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel

Genesis 39:7

39:7 Soon after these things, his master’s wife took notice of ²  Joseph and said, “Have sex with me.” ³ 

Genesis 21:16

21:16 Then she went and sat down by herself across from him at quite a distance, about a bowshot ⁴  away; for she thought, ⁵  “I refuse to watch the child die.” ⁶  So she sat across from him and wept uncontrollably. ⁷ 

[24:64]  ¹ tn Heb “lifted up her eyes.”

[39:7]  ² tn Heb “she lifted up her eyes toward,” an expression that emphasizes her deliberate and careful scrutiny of him.

[39:7]  ³ tn Heb “lie with me.” Here the expression “lie with” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[21:16]  ³ sn A bowshot would be a distance of about a hundred yards (ninety meters).

[21:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “said.”

[21:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will not look on the death of the child.” The cohortative verbal form (note the negative particle אַל,’al) here expresses her resolve to avoid the stated action.

[21:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “and she lifted up her voice and wept” (that is, she wept uncontrollably). The LXX reads “he” (referring to Ishmael) rather than “she” (referring to Hagar), but this is probably an attempt to harmonize this verse with the following one, which refers to the boy’s cries.
