Genesis 32:13

32:13 Jacob stayed there that night. Then he sent as a gift to his brother Esau

Genesis 39:3

39:3 His master observed that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he was doing successful.

tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).

tn The Hebrew text adds “in his hand,” a phrase not included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
