Kejadian 24:54

Kejadian 32:22

32:22 During the night Jacob quickly took ³  his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons ⁴  and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. ⁵ 

Kejadian 37:35

37:35 All his sons and daughters stood by ⁶  him to console him, but he refused to be consoled. “No,” he said, “I will go to the grave mourning my son.” ⁷  So Joseph’s ⁸  father wept for him.

49:9 You are a lion’s cub, Judah,

from the prey, my son, you have gone up.

He crouches and lies down like a lion;

like a lioness – who will rouse him?

[24:54]  ¹ tn Heb “And they ate and drank, he and the men who [were] with him and they spent the night.”

[24:54]  ² tn Heb “Send me away to my master.”

[32:22]  ³ tn Heb “and he arose in that night and he took.” The first verb is adverbial, indicating that he carried out the crossing right away.

[32:22]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term used here is יֶלֶד (yeled) which typically describes male offspring. Some translations render the term “children” but this is a problem because by this time Jacob had twelve children in all, including one daughter, Dinah, born to Leah (Gen 30:21). Benjamin, his twelfth son and thirteenth child, was not born until later (Gen 35:16-19).

[32:22]  ⁵ sn Hebrew narrative style often includes a summary statement of the whole passage followed by a more detailed report of the event. Here v. 22 is the summary statement, while v. 23 begins the detailed account.

[37:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “arose, stood”; which here suggests that they stood by him in his time of grief.

[37:35]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he said, ‘Indeed I will go down to my son mourning to Sheol.’” Sheol was viewed as the place where departed spirits went after death.

[37:35]  ⁸ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
