1 tn Heb “let not this matter be evil in your eyes.”

2 tn Heb “according to this and according to this the sword devours.”

3 tn Heb “overthrow.”

4 tn The Hebrew text does not have “with these words.” They are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

5 tc So the Qere; the Kethib has “his.”

6 tn Heb “to you for a wife.” This expression also occurs at the end of v. 10.

7 tn This verb is used in the Hitpael stem only in this chapter of the Hebrew Bible. With the exception of v. 2 it describes not a real sickness but one pretended in order to entrap Tamar.

8 tn Heb “blessed.”

9 tc The present translation reads with the Qere “your” rather than the MT “his.”
