Text -- Genesis 27:45 (NET)

NET Notes: Gen 27:45

¹ tn The words “stay there” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “and I will send and I will take you from there.” The verb “send” has no object in the Hebrew text; one must be supplied in the translation. Either “someone” or “a message” could be supplied, but since in those times a message would require a messenger, “someone” has been used.

³ tn If Jacob stayed, he would be killed and Esau would be forced to run away.
