Commentary

This “Commentary” section is an explanation of the text as it has been translated. In this section comments are added to help clarify my understanding of the account. This is important in two areas. First, in the various instances to explain why a waw is translated as it is. And second, for the verbs, to explain why the tense of the verb is understood as it is. Also, in this section bracketed comments in the text portion indicate either the form of the Hebrew verb or where an English verb has been supplied. As was true in the “Translation” section, for chapter 1 the bracketed headings indicate the segment divisions mentioned in the “Explanations” section as well as the end-of-day (EOD) statements.
