1 tn Heb “Those that went in, male and female from all flesh they went in.”

2 sn The Hebrew verb translated “visit” (פָּקַד, paqad ) often describes divine intervention for blessing or cursing; it indicates God’s special attention to an individual or a matter, always with respect to his people’s destiny. He may visit (that is, destroy) the Amalekites; he may visit (that is, deliver) his people in Egypt. Here he visits Sarah, to allow her to have the promised child. One’s destiny is changed when the Lord “visits.” For a more detailed study of the term, see G. André, Determining the Destiny (ConBOT).

3 tn Heb “and the Lord did.” The divine name has not been repeated here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

4 tn Heb “spoken.”

5 tn Heb “Isaac his son, the son of eight days.” The name “Isaac” is repeated in the translation for clarity.

6 sn Just as God had commanded him to do. With the birth of the promised child, Abraham obeyed the Lord by both naming (Gen 17:19) and circumcising Isaac (17:12).

7 tn Heb “interpreted.”

8 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Pharaoh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

9 tn Heb “him”; the referent (the baker) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

10 tn Heb “it is the word that I spoke.”
