NET Notes

¹sn Although Abraham and Sarah are distant ancestors of the people the prophet is addressing, they are spoken of as the immediate parents.

²tn Heb “one”; NLT “was alone”; TEV “was childless.”

³tn “Bless” may here carry the sense of “endue with potency, reproductive power.” See Gen 1:28.

⁴tn Heb “and I made him numerous.”
