Footnotes
- 66 The infinitive absolute before the verb emphasizes the clarity of their perception.
- 67 Heb “And we said, ‘Let there be.’ ” The direct discourse in the Hebrew text has been rendered as indirect discourse in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 68 The pronoun “us” here is inclusive—it refers to the Philistine contingent on the one hand and Isaac on the other.
- 69 The pronoun “us” here is exclusive—it refers to just the Philistine contingent (the following “you” refers to Isaac).
- 70 The translation assumes that the cohortative expresses their request. Another option is to understand the cohortative as indicating resolve: “We want to make.’ ”
