1 tn The disjunctive clause gives information that is important but parenthetical to the narrative. Rebekah would become the wife of Isaac (Gen 24:15).
2 tn Heb “whom she bore to Nahor.” The referent (Milcah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “went out to see.” The verb “to see,” followed by the preposition בְּ (bÿ), here has the idea of “look over.” The young girl wanted to meet these women and see what they were like.
4 tn Heb “daughters.”
