¹ tn The Hebrew text simply has “night” as an adverbial accusative.

² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “he divided himself…he and his servants.”

⁴ tn Heb “left.” Directions in ancient Israel were given in relation to the east rather than the north.
