Footnotes
- 5 Heb “Look, I am making you fruitful.” The participle following הִנֵּה (hinneh) has the nuance of a certain and often imminent future.
- 6 The perfect verbal form with vav consecutive carries on the certain future idea.
- 7 The Hebrew text adds “after you,” which has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 8 The Hebrew word אֲחֻזָּה (’akhuzzah), translated “possession,” describes a permanent holding in the land. It is the noun form of the same verb (אָחַז, ’akhaz) that was used for the land given to them in Goshen (Gen 47:27).
