1 tn Heb “and every good thing of his master was in his hand.” The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, explaining that he took all kinds of gifts to be used at his discretion.
2 tn Heb “and he arose and went.”
3 tn The words “the region of” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
sn Aram Naharaim means in Hebrew “Aram of the Two Rivers,” a region in northern Mesopotamia.
4 sn A beka weighed about 5-6 grams (0.2 ounce).
5 sn A shekel weighed about 11.5 grams (0.4 ounce) although weights varied locally, so these bracelets weighed about 4 ounces (115 grams).
6 tn The words “and gave them to her” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.
7 tn Heb “this to me.”
8 tn Heb “served you,” but in this accusatory context the meaning is more “worked like a slave.”
