tamarisk_tree
The tamarisk tree (also known as salt-cedar) is a small-leaved evergreen tree that grows up to 30 feet (9 meters) high and provides shade. It grows well in desert areas that have salty soil. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “a salt-cedar tree” or “an evergreen tree named salt-cedar”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּ֨קְרָא שָׁ֔ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה
and=he/it_called there in/on=name_of YHWH
See how you translated this clause in Gen 12:8 and a similar clause in 13:4. Alternate translation: “and he praised Yahweh by name there,” or “and he addressed Yahweh there by his name as he praised him,” or “and there he praised Yahweh,”
אֵ֥ל עוֹלָֽם
god everlasting
This phrase means that God has no beginning and no end. In other words, he has always existed and he will continue to exist forever. Alternate translation: “who is the Eternal God.” or “who is the God who has always existed.”
21:22-34 This passage, at its climax, explains the name of Beersheba, Abraham’s home (21:31-34). Beersheba reflected the covenant Abraham made with the residents of the land, which enabled him to dwell there in peace and prosperity. God’s promise was coming to fruition (12:7; 13:14-17; 15:7, 18-21; 17:8).
