1 tn The Hebrew construction uses the independent personal pronoun, followed by a suffixed form of הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) and the a participle used with an imminent future nuance: “As for me, look, I am going to bring.”
2 tn Heb “the flood, water.”
3 tn The verb שָׁחָת (shakhat, “to destroy”) is repeated yet again, only now in an infinitival form expressing the purpose of the flood.
4 tn The Hebrew construction here is different from the previous two; here it is רוּחַ חַיִּים (ruakh khayyim) rather than נֶפֶשׁ הַיָּה (nefesh khayyah) or נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים (nishmat khayyim). It refers to everything that breathes.
5 tn The verb “entered” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
6 tn Heb “every bird, every wing.”
7 tn Heb “and fear of you and dread of you will be upon every living creature of the earth and upon every bird of the sky.” The suffixes on the nouns “fear” and “dread” are objective genitives. The animals will fear humans from this time forward.
8 tn Heb “into your hand are given.” The “hand” signifies power. To say the animals have been given into the hands of humans means humans have been given authority over them.
9 tn The disjunctive clause structure (conjunction + noun/subject) is used to highlight the statement.
10 tn The infinitive absolute is used before the finite verb for emphasis.
11 tn Heb “and all which you give to me I will surely give a tenth of it to you.” The disjunctive clause structure (conjunction + noun/object) highlights this statement as well.
12 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Potiphar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
13 sn The Hebrew verb translated left indicates he relinquished the care of it to Joseph. This is stronger than what was said earlier. Apparently Potiphar had come to trust Joseph so much that he knew it was in better care with Joseph than with anyone else.
14 tn Heb “hand.” This is a metonymy for being under the control or care of Joseph.
15 tn Heb “did not know.”
16 sn The expression except the food he ate probably refers to Potiphar’s private affairs and should not be limited literally to what he ate.
17 tn Heb “handsome of form and handsome of appearance.” The same Hebrew expressions were used in Gen 29:17 for Rachel.
18 tn Heb “and he said.”
19 tn Heb “know.”
20 tn The word “here” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
21 tn Heb “hand.” This is a metonymy for being under the control or care of Joseph.
22 tn Heb “and they spoke to him all the words of Joseph which he had spoke to them.”
