Kejadian 30:32

30:32 Let me walk among ¹  all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, ²  and the spotted or speckled goats. ³  These animals will be my wages. ⁴ 

Kejadian 34:12

34:12 You can make the bride price and the gift I must bring very expensive, ⁵  and I’ll give ⁶  whatever you ask ⁷  of me. Just give me the young woman as my wife!”

[30:32]  ¹ tn Heb “pass through.”

[30:32]  ² tn Or “every black lamb”; Heb “and every dark sheep among the lambs.”

[30:32]  ³ tn Heb “and the spotted and speckled among the goats.”

[30:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it will be my wage.” The referent collective singular pronoun (“it) has been specified as “these animals” in the translation for clarity.

[34:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “Make very great upon me the bride price and gift.” The imperatives are used in a rhetorical manner. Shechem’s point is that he will pay the price, no matter how expensive it might be.

[34:12]  ⁶ tn The cohortative expresses Shechem’s resolve to have Dinah as his wife.

[34:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “say.”
