Kejadian 9:20

Kejadian 29:25

Kejadian 30:33

30:33 My integrity will testify for me ¹⁰  later on. ¹¹  When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, ¹²  if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.” ¹³ 

[8:13]  ¹ tn Heb In the six hundred and first year.” Since this refers to the six hundred and first year of Noah’s life, the word “Noah’s” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:13]  ² tn Heb “and saw and look.” As in v. 11, the deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) invites readers to enter into the story, as it were, and look at the dry ground with their own eyes.

[9:20]  ³ sn The epithet a man of the soil indicates that Noah was a farmer.

[9:20]  ⁴ tn Or “Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard”; Heb “and Noah, a man of the ground, began and he planted a vineyard.”

[21:34]  ⁵ tn Heb “many days.”

[29:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “and it happened in the morning that look, it was Leah.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to view the scene through Jacob’s eyes.

[29:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he said”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:25]  ⁸ tn Heb What is this you have done to me?” The use of the pronoun “this” is enclitic, adding emphasis to the question: “What in the world have you done to me?”

[29:25]  ⁹ sn The Hebrew verb translated tricked here (רָמָה, ramah) is cognate to the noun used in Gen 27:35 to describe Jacob’s deception of Esau. Jacob is discovering that what goes around, comes around. See J. A. Diamond, “The Deception of Jacob: A New Perspective on an Ancient Solution to the Problem,” VT 34 (1984): 211-13.

[30:33]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “will answer on my behalf.”

[30:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “on the following day,” or “tomorrow.”

[30:33]  ¹² tn Heb “when you come concerning my wage before you.”

[30:33]  sn Only the wage we agreed on. Jacob would have to be considered completely honest here, for he would have no control over the kind of animals born; and there could be no disagreement over which animals were his wages.

[30:33]  ¹³ tn Heb “every one which is not speckled and spotted among the lambs and dark among the goats, stolen it is with me.”
