1 sn The name El-Bethel means “God of Bethel.”
2 tn Heb “revealed themselves.” The verb נִגְלוּ (niglu), translated “revealed himself,” is plural, even though one expects the singular form with the plural of majesty. Perhaps אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) is here a numerical plural, referring both to God and the angelic beings that appeared to Jacob. See the note on the word “know” in Gen 3:5.
3 tn Heb “the dream of Pharaoh is one.”
4 tn Heb “declared.”
5 tn The active participle here indicates what is imminent.
