[25:28]  ¹ tn Heb “the taste of game was in his mouth.” The word for “game,” “venison” is here the same Hebrew word as “hunter” in the last verse. Here it is a metonymy, referring to that which the hunter kills.

[25:28]  ² tn The disjunctive clause juxtaposes Rebekah with Jacob and draws attention to the contrast. The verb here is a participle, drawing attention to Rebekah’s continuing, enduring love for her son.

[27:17]  ³ tn Heb “gave…into the hand of.”

[29:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “indeed, my bone and my flesh are you.” The expression sounds warm enough, but the presence of “indeed” may suggest that Laban had to be convinced of Jacob’s identity before permitting him to stay. To be one’s “bone and flesh” is to be someone’s blood relative. For example, the phrase describes the relationship between Abimelech and the Shechemites (Judg 9:2; his mother was a Shechemite); David and the Israelites (2 Sam 5:1); David and the elders of Judah (2 Sam 19:12,); and David and his nephew Amasa (2 Sam 19:13, see 2 Sam 17:2; 1 Chr 2:16-17).

[29:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “a month of days.”

[31:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and Jacob saw the face of Laban, and look, he was not with him as formerly.” Jacob knew from the expression on Laban’s face that his attitude toward him had changed – Jacob had become persona non grata.

[32:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “before him.”

[32:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “field.”

[32:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “shone.”

[32:31]  ¹¹ sn The name is spelled Penuel here, apparently a variant spelling of Peniel (see v. 30).

[32:31]  ¹² tn The disjunctive clause draws attention to an important fact: He may have crossed the stream, but he was limping.

[45:25]  ¹³ tn Heb “and they entered the land of Canaan to their father.”
