Genesis 33:13

33:13 But Jacob ¹  said to him, “My lord knows that the children are young, ²  and that I have to look after the sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. ³  If they are driven too hard for even a single day, all the animals will die.

Isaiah 40:11

40:11 Like a shepherd he tends his flock;

he gathers up the lambs with his arm;

he carries them close to his heart; ⁴ 

he leads the ewes along.

¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “weak.”

³ tn Heb “and the sheep and the cattle nursing [are] upon me.”

⁴ tn Heb “in his bosom” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV), an expression which reflects closeness and protective care.
