[19:33] 1 tn Heb “drink wine.”
[19:33] 2 tn Heb “the firstborn.”
[19:33] 3 tn Heb “and the firstborn came and lied down with her father.” The expression “lied down with” here and in the following verses is a euphemism for sexual relations.
[19:33] 4 tn Heb “and he did not know when she lay down and when she arose.”
[29:12] 6 tn Heb “that he [was] the brother of her father.”
[31:53] 7 tn The God of Abraham and the god of Nahor. The Hebrew verb translated “judge” is plural, suggesting that Laban has more than one “god” in mind. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the LXX, apparently in an effort to make the statement monotheistic, have a singular verb. In this case one could translate, “May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” However, Laban had a polytheistic world view, as evidenced by his possession of household idols (cf. 31:19). The translation uses “God” when referring to Abraham’s God, for Genesis makes it clear that Abraham worshiped the one true God. It employs “god” when referring to Nahor’s god, for in the Hebrew text Laban refers to a different god here, probably one of the local deities.
[31:53] 8 tn Heb “by the fear of his father Isaac.” See the note on the word “fears” in v. 42.
