¹ tn There is a notable change between what the Lord God had said and what the woman says. God said “you may freely eat” (the imperfect with the infinitive absolute, see 2:16), but the woman omits the emphatic infinitive, saying simply “we may eat.” Her words do not reflect the sense of eating to her heart’s content.

² tn Heb “drew near to enter.”

³ tn The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) is deictic here; it draws attention to the following fact.

⁴ tn Heb “a woman beautiful of appearance are you.”

⁵ tn The imperfect is used here in a modal sense to indicate desire.

⁶ tn Heb “after me.”

⁷ tn Heb “you must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”
