¹ 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).

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

³ tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

⁶ tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.
