Genesis 29:12

29:12 When Jacob explained to Rachel that he was a relative of her father and the son of Rebekah, she ran and told her father.

Genesis 29:15

29:15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be.”


tn Heb “declared.”

tn Heb “that he [was] the brother of her father.”

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

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