Genesis 29:32

² tn Heb “after one who sees me.”

³ tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “and she, even she.”

⁵ tn Heb “with the integrity of my heart.”

⁵ tn Or “Leah conceived” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35).

⁶ sn The name Reuben (רְאוּבֵן, rÿ’uven) means “look, a son.”

⁷ tn Heb “looked on my affliction.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and she lifted up her voice and wept” (that is, she wept uncontrollably). The LXX reads “he” (referring to Ishmael) rather than “she” (referring to Hagar), but this is probably an attempt to harmonize this verse with the following one, which refers to the boy’s cries.
