| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “your house” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV). 2 tn Heb “and may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, from the offspring whom the 2 sn Perez is an appropriate comparison here, because (1) he was an ancestor of Boaz, (2) he was born to Tamar by a surrogate father (Judah) after the death of her husband, and (3) he had an unbroken line of male descendants extending over several generations (see vv. 18-22). 3 tn Heb “from the seed” (KJV, ASV both similar); NASB, NIV “through the offspring”; NRSV “through the children.” |
