Footnotes

  1. 24 Heb “and Abraham rose up early in the morning and he took.”
  2. 25 Heb “bread,” although the term can be used for food in general.
  3. 26 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. 27 Heb “she went and wandered.”
  5. 28 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.
