| NET Notes |
1 sn Although Abraham and Sarah are distant ancestors of the people the prophet is addressing, they are spoken of as the immediate parents. 2 tn Heb “one”; NLT “was alone”; TEV “was childless.” 3 tn “Bless” may here carry the sense of “endue with potency, reproductive power.” See Gen 1:28. 4 tn Heb “and I made him numerous.” |
