34:13 Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully when they spoke because Shechem 1 had violated their sister Dinah.
46:17 The sons of Asher:
Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister.
The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malkiel.
1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
1 tn Heb “came upon the slain.” Because of this statement the preceding phrase “Jacob’s sons” is frequently taken to mean the other sons of Jacob besides Simeon and Levi, but the text does not clearly affirm this.
2 tn Heb “because they violated their sister.” The plural verb is active in form, but with no expressed subject, it may be translated passive.
