¹ tn Heb “his wine,” used here by metonymy for the drunken stupor it produced.

² tn Heb “he knew.”

³ tn The Hebrew verb עָשָׂה (’asah, “to do”) carries too general a sense to draw the conclusion that Ham had to have done more than look on his father’s nakedness and tell his brothers.

⁴ tn Heb “Isaac his son, the son of eight days.” The name “Isaac” is repeated in the translation for clarity.

⁵ sn Just as God had commanded him to do. With the birth of the promised child, Abraham obeyed the Lord by both naming (Gen 17:19) and circumcising Isaac (17:12).

⁶ tn Heb “for to my country and my relatives you must go.”

⁷ tn Heb “and take.”

⁸ tn Heb “whom she bore to Nahor.” The referent (Milcah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁹ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰ sn Which are you, my son? Isaac’s first question shows that the deception is going to require more subterfuge than Rebekah had anticipated. Jacob will have to pull off the deceit.

¹¹ tn Heb “listen to my voice.”

¹² tn Heb “arise, flee.”

¹³ tn Heb “listened to.”

¹⁴ tn Or “she conceived” (also in v. 19).

¹⁵ tn Heb “and she bore for Jacob a fifth son,” i.e., this was the fifth son that Leah had given Jacob.

¹⁶ tn Or “conceived.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “my reproach.” A “reproach” is a cutting taunt or painful ridicule, but here it probably refers by metonymy to Rachel’s barren condition, which was considered shameful in this culture and was the reason why she was the object of taunting and ridicule.

¹⁸ tn Heb “and she added again and she gave birth.” The first verb and the adverb emphasize that she gave birth once more.

¹⁹ tn Or “and he [i.e., Judah] was in Kezib when she gave birth to him.”
