29:7 Then Jacob ⁴  said, “Since it is still the middle of the day, ⁵  it is not time for the flocks to be gathered.

Then we water ⁷  the sheep.”

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the son of his brother.”

[12:5]  ² tn For the semantic nuance “acquire [property]” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah), see BDB 795 s.v. עָשָׂה.

[12:5]  ³ tn Heb “went out to go.”

[29:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “the day is great.”

[29:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “water the sheep and go and pasture [them].” The verbal forms are imperatives, but Jacob would hardly be giving direct orders to someone else’s shepherds. The nuance here is probably one of advice.

[29:8]  ⁷ tn The perfect verbal forms with the vav (ו) consecutive carry on the sequence begun by the initial imperfect form.

[31:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “and Jacob arose and he lifted up his sons and his wives on to the camels.”

[32:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “the first”; this has been specified as “the servant leading the first herd” in the translation for clarity.

[32:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to whom are you?”

[32:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and to whom are these before you?”

[33:14]  ¹² tn Heb “and I, I will move along according to my leisure at the foot of the property which is before me and at the foot of the children.”

[34:5]  ¹³ tn The two disjunctive clauses in this verse (“Now Jacob heard…and his sons were”) are juxtaposed to indicate synchronic action.

[34:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:5]  ¹⁵ sn The expected response would be anger or rage; but Jacob remained silent. He appears too indifferent or confused to act decisively. When the leader does not act decisively, the younger zealots will, and often with disastrous results.

[45:11]  ¹⁶ tn The verb כּוּל (kul) in the Pilpel stem means “to nourish, to support, to sustain.” As in 1 Kgs 20:27, it here means “to supply with food.”

[46:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan and they went to Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
