1 tn Or “separated.”

2 tn The meaning of this line is not easily understood. The sons of Ishmael are listed here “by their names” and “according to their descendants.”

3 sn The gate. In an ancient Near Eastern city the gate complex was the location for conducting important public business.

4 tn Heb “the man.”

5 tn Heb “feeders of sheep.”

6 tn Heb “for men of livestock they are.”

7 tn Or “you fathered.”

8 tn Heb “called” or “named.”

9 sn Listed under the names of their brothers in their inheritance. This means that any subsequent children of Joseph will be incorporated into the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.

10 sn Divide…scatter. What is predicted here is a division of their tribes. Most commentators see here an anticipation of Levi being in every area but not their own. That may be part of it, but not entirely what the curse intended. These tribes for their ruthless cruelty would be eliminated from the power and prestige of leadership.
