NET Notes

1 tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive; it has the nuance of an imperfect of instruction.

2 tn The words “they belong” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “to your servant, to Jacob.”

4 tn Heb “to my lord, to Esau.”

5 tn Heb “and look, also he [is] behind us.” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
