Footnotes

  1. 22 Heb “ate bread.”
  2. 23 The Hebrew word קְשִׂיטָה (qésitah) is generally understood to refer to a unit of money, but the value is unknown. The Hebrew word refers to a piece of silver, yet uncoined. It is the kind used in Gen 33:19 and Josh 24:32. It is what would be expected of a story set in the patriarchal age.
  3. 24 This gold ring was worn by women in the nose, or men and women in the ear.
