Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Gen 26:29

¹ tn The oath formula is used: “if you do us harm” means “so that you will not do.”

² tn Heb “touched.”

³ tn Heb “and just as we have done only good with you.”

⁴ tn Heb “and we sent you away.”

⁵ tn The Philistine leaders are making an observation, not pronouncing a blessing, so the translation reads “you are blessed” rather than “may you be blessed” (cf. NAB).
