³ tn Heb “everything which [has] the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils from all which is in the dry land.”

⁴ tn Heb “And the days of Terah were.”

⁵ tn Heb “Terah”; the pronoun has been substituted for the proper name in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁶ sn This explanatory note links the earlier name Ephrath with the later name Bethlehem.

⁸ tn The verb means “command,” but they would hardly be commanding him. It probably means they sent their father’s instructions to Joseph.
