Kejadian 27:27

27:27 So Jacob ¹  went over and kissed him. When Isaac caught the scent ²  of his clothing, he blessed him, saying,

“Yes, ³  my son smells

like the scent of an open field

which the Lord has blessed.

Kejadian 37:10

37:10 When he told his father and his brothers, his father rebuked him, saying, “What is this dream that you had? ⁴  Will I, your mother, and your brothers really come and bow down to you?” ⁵ 

[27:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:27]  ² tn Heb “and he smelled the smell”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:27]  ³ tn Heb “see.”

[37:10]  ⁴ sn The question What is this dream that you had? expresses Jacob’s dismay at what he perceives to be Joseph’s audacity.

[37:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “Coming, will we come, I and your mother and your brothers, to bow down to you to the ground?” The verb “come” is preceded by the infinitive absolute, which lends emphasis. It is as if Jacob said, “You don’t really think we will come…to bow down…do you?”
