Konteks41:27 The seven lean, bad-looking cows that came up after them represent seven years, as do the seven empty heads of grain burned with the east wind. They represent 4 seven years of famine.
[26:22] 1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[26:22] 2 tn Heb “and he called its name.”
[26:22] 3 sn The name Rehoboth (רְהֹבוֹת, rehovot) is derived from a verbal root meaning “to make room.” The name was a reminder that God had made room for them. The story shows Isaac’s patience with the opposition; it also shows how God’s blessing outdistanced the men of Gerar. They could not stop it or seize it any longer.
[41:27] 4 tn Heb “are.” Another option is to translate, “There will be seven years of famine.”
