¹ tn Heb “she took her servant Zilpah and gave her.” The verbs “took” and “gave” are treated as a hendiadys in the translation: “she gave.”

² tn Heb “and you have stolen my heart.” This expression apparently means “to deceive” (see v. 20).

³ tn Heb “and you have led away my daughters like captives of a sword.”

³ tn Heb “it was hot to Jacob.” This idiom refers to anger.

⁴ tn Heb “and Jacob answered and said to Laban, ‘What is my sin?’” The proper name “Jacob” has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation and the order of the introductory clause and direct discourse rearranged for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “What is my sin that you have hotly pursued after me.” The Hebrew verb translated “pursue hotly” is used elsewhere of soldiers chasing defeated enemies (1 Sam 17:53).

⁴ tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive; it has the nuance of an imperfect of instruction.

⁵ tn The words “they belong” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁶ tn Heb “to your servant, to Jacob.”

⁷ tn Heb “to my lord, to Esau.”

⁸ tn Heb “and look, also he [is] behind us.” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”

⁶ tn Heb “All the people who went with Jacob to Egypt, the ones who came out of his body, apart from the wives of the sons of Jacob, all the people were sixty-six.”

⁷ tn Heb “and one told and said.” The verbs have no expressed subject and can be translated with the passive voice.

⁸ tn Heb “Look, your son Joseph.”
