Kejadian 32:5

32:5 I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent ¹  this message ²  to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”

Kejadian 32:10

32:10 I am not worthy of all the faithful love ³  you have shown ⁴  your servant. With only my walking stick ⁵  I crossed the Jordan, ⁶  but now I have become two camps.

[32:5]  ¹ tn Or “I am sending.” The form is a preterite with the vav consecutive; it could be rendered as an English present tense – as the Hebrew perfect/preterite allows – much like an epistolary aorist in Greek. The form assumes the temporal perspective of the one who reads the message.

[32:5]  ² tn The words “this message” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[32:10]  ³ tn Heb “the loving deeds and faithfulness” (see 24:27, 49).

[32:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “you have done with.”

[32:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “for with my staff.” The Hebrew word מַקֵל (maqel), traditionally translated “staff,” has been rendered as “walking stick” because a “staff” in contemporary English refers typically to the support personnel in an organization.

[32:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “this Jordan.”
