Kejadian 15:14

15:14 But I will execute judgment on the nation that they will serve. ¹  Afterward they will come out with many possessions.

Kejadian 29:15

29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you work ²  for me for nothing because you are my relative? ³  Tell me what your wages should be.”

[15:14]  ¹ tn The participle דָּן (dan, from דִּין, din) is used here for the future: “I am judging” = “I will surely judge.” The judgment in this case will be condemnation and punishment. The translation “execute judgment on” implies that the judgment will certainly be carried out.

[29:15]  ² tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.

[29:15]  ³ tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.
