34:28 They took their flocks, herds, and donkeys, as well as everything in the city and in the surrounding fields. ¹ 

Kejadian 12:16

12:16 and he did treat Abram well ²  on account of her. Abram received ³  sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

[34:28]  ¹ tn Heb “and what was in the city and what was in the field they took.”

[12:16]  ² sn He did treat Abram well. The construction of the parenthetical disjunctive clause, beginning with the conjunction on the prepositional phrase, draws attention to the irony of the story. Abram wanted Sarai to lie “so that it would go well” with him. Though he lost Sarai to Pharaoh, it did go well for him – he received a lavish bride price. See also G. W. Coats, “Despoiling the Egyptians,” VT 18 (1968): 450-57.

[12:16]  ³ tn Heb “and there was to him.”
