1 tn Heb “his faithfulness and his commitment.”

2 tn Heb “As for me – in the way the Lord led me.”

3 tn Here “house” is an adverbial accusative of termination.

4 tn Heb “brothers.”

5 tn Heb “if you are making successful my way on which I am going.”

6 tn The words “may events unfold as follows” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

7 tn Heb “daughter.” Rebekah was actually the granddaughter of Nahor, Abraham’s brother. One can either translate the Hebrew term בַּת (bat) as “daughter,” in which case the term אָח (’akh) must be translated more generally as “relative” rather than “brother” (cf. NASB, NRSV) or one can translate בַּת as “granddaughter,” in which case אָח may be translated “brother” (cf. NIV).
