Kejadian 49:24

49:24 But his bow will remain steady,

and his hands ¹  will be skillful;

because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,

because of ²  the Shepherd, the Rock ³  of Israel,

Keluaran 33:22

33:22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and will cover ⁴  you with my hand ⁵  while I pass by. ⁶ 

¹ tn Heb “the arms of his hands.”

² tn Heb “from there,” but the phrase should be revocalized and read “from [i.e., because of] the name of.”

³ tn Or “Stone.”

⁴ sn Note the use in Exod 40:3, “and you will screen the ark with the curtain.” The glory is covered, veiled from being seen.

⁵ tn The circumstantial clause is simply, “my hand [being] over you.” This protecting hand of Yahweh represents a fairly common theme in the Bible.

⁶ tn The construction has a preposition with an infinitive construct and a suffix: “while [or until] I pass by” (Heb “in the passing by of me”).
