Kejadian 46:2

46:2 God spoke to Israel in a vision during the night ⁸  and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He replied, “Here I am!”

[8:8]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Noah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:8]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds “from him.” This has not been translated for stylistic reasons, because it is redundant in English.

[8:8]  ³ tn The Hebrew verb קָלָל (qalal) normally means “to be light, to be slight”; it refers here to the waters receding.

[13:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “for all the land which you see to you I will give it and to your descendants.”

[29:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “hated.” The rhetorical device of overstatement is used (note v. 30, which says simply that Jacob loved Rachel more than he did Leah) to emphasize that Rachel, as Jacob’s true love and the primary object of his affections, had an advantage over Leah.

[29:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “he opened up her womb.”

[31:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and Jacob saw the face of Laban, and look, he was not with him as formerly.” Jacob knew from the expression on Laban’s face that his attitude toward him had changed – Jacob had become persona non grata.

[46:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “in visions of the night.” The plural form has the singular meaning, probably as a plural of intensity.
