Kejadian 5:24

5:24 Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared ¹  because God took ²  him away.

Kejadian 29:11

29:11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly. ³ 

Kejadian 30:4

30:4 So Rachel ⁴  gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had marital relations with ⁵  her.

[5:24]  ¹ tn The Hebrew construction has the negative particle אֵין (’en, “there is not,” “there was not”) with a pronominal suffix, “he was not.” Instead of saying that Enoch died, the text says he no longer was present.

[5:24]  ² sn The text simply states that God took Enoch. Similar language is used of Elijah’s departure from this world (see 2 Kgs 2:10). The text implies that God overruled death for this man who walked with him.

[29:11]  ³ tn Heb “and he lifted up his voice and wept.” The idiom calls deliberate attention to the fact that Jacob wept out loud.

[30:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “and she”; the referent (Rachel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[30:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “went in to.” The expression “went in to” in this context refers to sexual intercourse.
