Kejadian 24:19

[12:16]  ¹ sn He did treat Abram well. The construction of the parenthetical disjunctive clause, beginning with the conjunction on the prepositional phrase, draws attention to the irony of the story. Abram wanted Sarai to lie “so that it would go well” with him. Though he lost Sarai to Pharaoh, it did go well for him – he received a lavish bride price. See also G. W. Coats, “Despoiling the Egyptians,” VT 18 (1968): 450-57.

[12:16]  ² tn Heb “and there was to him.”

[24:11]  ³ tn Heb “well of water.”

[24:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “at the time of evening.”

[24:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:31]  ⁷ sn Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.

[24:31]  ⁸ tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.

[24:63]  ⁹ tn Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:63]  ¹⁰ tn The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. NASB, NIV “to meditate”; NRSV “to walk”).

[24:63]  ¹¹ tn Heb “at the turning of the evening.”

[24:63]  ¹² tn Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.

[24:63]  ¹³ tn Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.

[24:64]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “lifted up her eyes.”

[30:43]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the man”; Jacob’s name has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[30:43]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and there were to him.”

[31:17]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and Jacob arose and he lifted up his sons and his wives on to the camels.”
