1 tn The construction combines a Qal preterite from שׁוּב (shuv) with its infinitive absolute to indicate continuous action. The infinitive absolute from הָלָךְ (halakh) is included for emphasis: “the waters returned…going and returning.”
2 tn Heb “the waters.” The pronoun (“they”) has been employed in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn The vav (ו) consecutive with the preterite here describes the consequence of the preceding action.
4 tn The expression “the earth was divided” may refer to dividing the land with canals, but more likely it anticipates the division of languages at Babel (Gen 11). The verb פָּלָג (palag, “separate, divide”) is used in Ps 55:9 for a division of languages.
5 tn Heb “her”; the referent (Rebekah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Heb “and the Philistines stopped them up and filled them with dirt.”
7 tn Heb “in exchange for Rachel.”
8 sn But they seemed like only a few days to him. This need not mean that the time passed quickly. More likely it means that the price seemed insignificant when compared to what he was getting in the bargain.
9 tn Heb “because of his love for her.” The words “was so great” are supplied for stylistic reasons.
10 tn Heb “his brothers.”
11 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
12 tn Heb “and he pursued after him a journey of seven days.”
13 tn Heb “drew close to.”
14 tn Heb “Pharaoh will lift up your head from upon you.” Joseph repeats the same expression from the first interpretation (see v. 13), but with the added words “from upon you,” which allow the statement to have a more literal and ominous meaning – the baker will be decapitated.
15 tn Heb “weeping.”
16 tn Heb “the house of Pharaoh.”
17 tn Heb “in the ears of Pharaoh.”
