- Genesis 16:15 tn Heb “and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.”sn Whom Abram named Ishmael. Hagar must have informed Abram of what the angel had told her. See the note on the name “Ishmael” in 16:11.
- Genesis 16:16 tn The disjunctive clause gives information that is parenthetical to the narrative.
- Genesis 16:16 tn Heb “the son of eighty-six years.”
