¹ tn Heb “and he lifted up his voice and wept.” The idiom calls deliberate attention to the fact that Jacob wept out loud.

² tn Heb “sent and called for Rachel and for Leah.” Jacob did not go in person, but probably sent a servant with a message for his wives to meet him in the field.

⁴ tn Heb “to his flock.”

³ tn Heb “and Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his female servant, for her for a servant.”
