[15:3]  ¹ tn Heb “went out.”

[15:3]  ² tn Or “the Ascent of Scorpions” (עַקְרַבִּים [’aqrabbim] means “scorpions” in Hebrew).

[16:2]  ³ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the southern border) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the place name “Luz” has the directive ending, indicating that the border went from Bethel to Luz. Elsewhere Luz and Bethel appear to be names for the same site (cf. Judg 1:23), but here they appear to be distinct. Note that the NIV translates “from Bethel (that is, Luz)” here, following the reading of the LXX, εἰς Βαιθηλ Λουζα (eis Baiqhl Louza, “from Bethel [Luz]”).

[15:4]  ⁵ tn Traditionally “the Brook of Egypt,” although a number of recent translations have “the Wadi of Egypt” (cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[15:4]  ⁶ tn The translation follows the LXX at this point. The MT reads, “This will be your southern border.”

[15:7]  ⁷ tn Or “ascent.”
