Footnotes

  1. 79 It is possible that the name Καϊνάμ (Kainam) should be omitted, since two key , 𝔓75vid and D, lack it. But the omission may be a motivated reading: This name is not found in the editions of the Hebrew OT, though it is in the , at Gen 11:12 and 10:24. But the witnesses with this reading (or a variation of it) are substantial: א B L f1 33 (Καϊνάμ), A Θ Ψ 0102 f13 𝔐 (Καϊνάν, Kainan). The translation above has adopted the more common spelling “Cainan,” although it is based on the reading Καϊνάμ.
  2. 80 Here the Greek text reads Mahalaleel. Some modern English translations follow the Greek spelling (, ) while others () use the OT form of the name (Gen 5:12, 15).
  3. 81 The Greek text has Kainam here. Some modern English translations follow the Greek spelling more closely (, Cainan) while others () use the OT form of the name (Kenan in Gen 5:9, 12).
  4. 82 The reference to the son of God here is not to a divine being, but to one directly formed by the hand of God. He is made in God’s image, so this phrase could be read as appositional (“Adam, that is, the son of God”). See Acts 17:28–29.
