Kejadian 27:13

Kejadian 41:22

41:22 I also saw in my dream ⁵  seven heads of grain growing on one stalk, full and good.

[1:29]  ¹ tn The text uses הִנֵּה (hinneh), often archaically translated “behold.” It is often used to express the dramatic present, the immediacy of an event – “Look, this is what I am doing!”

[1:29]  ² sn G. J. Wenham (Genesis [WBC], 1:34) points out that there is nothing in the passage that prohibits the man and the woman from eating meat. He suggests that eating meat came after the fall. Gen 9:3 may then ratify the postfall practice of eating meat rather than inaugurate the practice, as is often understood.

[27:13]  ³ tn Heb “upon me your curse.”

[27:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “only listen to my voice.”

[41:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “and I saw in my dream and look.”
