[31:37]  ¹ tn Heb “what did you find from all the goods of your house?”

[31:37]  ² tn Heb “your relatives.” The word “relatives” has not been repeated in the translation here for stylistic reasons.

[31:37]  ³ tn Heb “that they may decide between us two.”

[31:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying.”

[31:1]  ⁵ sn The Hebrew word translated “gotten rich” (כָּבוֹד, cavod) has the basic idea of “weight.” If one is heavy with possessions, then that one is wealthy (13:2). Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph all became wealthy when they left the promised land. Jacob’s wealth foreshadows what will happen to Israel when they leave the land of Egypt (Exod 12:35-38).

[31:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “and from that which belonged to our father he has gained all this wealth.”

[26:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the Lord returns to the man his righteousness and his faithfulness.”
