¹ tn Or “she conceived.”

² tn Heb “to my master.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “him” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “after her old age.”

⁴ tn Heb “and he.” The referent (the servant’s master, Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ sn This is the account of Ishmael. The Book of Genesis tends to tidy up the family records at every turning point. Here, before proceeding with the story of Isaac’s family, the narrative traces Ishmael’s family line. Later, before discussing Jacob’s family, the narrative traces Esau’s family line (see Gen 36).

⁶ tn Or “grandsons” (NIV); “descendants” (NEB).

⁷ tn Heb “daughter,” but see Gen 36:24-25.

⁸ sn On is another name for the city of Heliopolis.
