Genesis 29:15

39:12 Hear my prayer, O Lord!

Listen to my cry for help!

For I am dependent on you, like one residing outside his native land;

I am at your mercy, just as all my ancestors were. ⁸ 

Hebrews 11:9

¹ tn Or “the South [country]”; Heb “the land of the Negev.”

² tn Heb “and he sojourned.”

³ tn Or “the South [country]”; Heb “the land of the Negev.”

⁴ tn Heb “and he sojourned.”

⁵ tn The verb is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; the nuance in the question is deliberative.

⁶ tn Heb “my brother.” The term “brother” is used in a loose sense; actually Jacob was Laban’s nephew.

⁷ tn Heb “do not be deaf to my tears.”

⁸ tn Heb “For a resident alien [am] I with you, a sojourner like all my fathers.”

⁹ tn Or “settled as a resident alien.”

¹⁰ tn Or “heirs with him.”

¹¹ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

¹² tn Or “sojourners.”

¹³ tn Grk “are all from one.”

¹⁴ tn Grk “for which reason.”

¹⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.
