[40:6]  ¹ tn The verb זָעַף (za’af) only occurs here and Dan 1:10. It means “to be sick, to be emaciated,” probably in this case because of depression.

[19:27]  ² tn The words “and went” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:54]  ³ tn Heb “And they ate and drank, he and the men who [were] with him and they spent the night.”

[24:54]  ⁴ tn Heb “Send me away to my master.”

[26:31]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they got up early and they swore an oath, a man to his brother.”

[26:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they went from him in peace.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “And Abimelech rose early in the morning and he summoned.”

[20:8]  ⁶ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the preposition לְ (lamed) means “to summon.”

[20:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “And he spoke all these things in their ears.”

[20:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “the men.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “they” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he got up early…and he took.”

[28:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:18]  ⁸ tn See the note on this phrase in v. 11.

[28:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “standing stone.”

[29:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and it happened in the morning that look, it was Leah.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to view the scene through Jacob’s eyes.

[29:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:25]  ⁹ tn Heb What is this you have done to me?” The use of the pronoun “this” is enclitic, adding emphasis to the question: “What in the world have you done to me?”

[29:25]  ¹⁰ sn The Hebrew verb translated tricked here (רָמָה, ramah) is cognate to the noun used in Gen 27:35 to describe Jacob’s deception of Esau. Jacob is discovering that what goes around, comes around. See J. A. Diamond, “The Deception of Jacob: A New Perspective on an Ancient Solution to the Problem,” VT 34 (1984): 211-13.

[31:55]  ⁸ sn Beginning with 31:55, the verse numbers in the English Bible through 32:32 differ by one from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 31:55 ET = 32:1 HT, 32:1 ET = 32:2 HT, etc., through 32:32 ET = 32:33 HT. From 33:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[31:55]  ⁹ tn Heb “and Laban got up early in the morning and he kissed.”

[31:55]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his sons.”

[31:55]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to his place.”

[21:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “and Abraham rose up early in the morning and he took.”

[21:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “bread,” although the term can be used for food in general.

[21:14]  ¹¹ tn Heb “He put upon her shoulder, and the boy [or perhaps, “and with the boy”], and he sent her away.” It is unclear how “and the boy” relates syntactically to what precedes. Perhaps the words should be rearranged and the text read, “and he put [them] on her shoulder and he gave to Hagar the boy.”

[21:14]  ¹² tn Heb “she went and wandered.”

[21:14]  ¹³ tn Or “desert,” although for English readers this usually connotes a sandy desert like the Sahara rather than the arid wasteland of this region with its sparse vegetation.

[22:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his donkey.”

[22:3]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he arose and he went.”

[41:8]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his spirit.”

[41:8]  ¹² tn Heb “he sent and called,” which indicates an official summons.

[41:8]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew term חַרְטֹם (khartom) is an Egyptian loanword (hyr-tp) that describes a class of priests who were skilled in such interpretations.

[41:8]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text has the singular (though the Samaritan Pentateuch reads the plural). If retained, the singular must be collective for the set of dreams. Note the plural pronoun “them,” referring to the dreams, in the next clause. However, note that in v. 15 Pharaoh uses the singular to refer to the two dreams. In vv. 17-24 Pharaoh seems to treat the dreams as two parts of one dream (see especially v. 22).

[41:8]  ¹⁵ tn “there was no interpreter.”

[41:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “for Pharaoh.” The pronoun “him” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.
