Genesis 21:14

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Genesis 21:14 tn Heb “and Abraham rose up early in the morning and he took.”
2. Genesis 21:14 tn Heb “bread,” although the term can be used for food in general.
3. Genesis 21:14 tn Heb “He put upon her shoulder, and the boy [or perhaps, “and with the boy”], and he sent her away.” It is unclear how “and the boy” relates syntactically to what precedes. Perhaps the words should be rearranged and the text read, “and he put [them] on her shoulder and he gave to Hagar the boy.”
4. Genesis 21:14 tn Heb “she went and wandered.”
5. Genesis 21:14 tn Or “desert,” although for English readers this usually connotes a sandy desert like the Sahara rather than the arid wasteland of this region with its sparse vegetation.
