Footnotes

  1. 107 Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  2. 108 The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. , “to meditate”; “to walk”).
  3. 109 Heb “at the turning of the evening.”
  4. 110 Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.
  5. 111 Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.
