2 tn Heb “and Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan – it is Bethel – he and all the people who were with him.”
3 sn The same pattern of sons, grandsons, and chiefs is now listed for Seir the Horite. “Seir” is both the name of the place and the name of the ancestor of these tribes. The name “Horite” is probably not to be identified with “Hurrian.” The clan of Esau settled in this area, intermarried with these Horites and eventually dispossessed them, so that they all became known as Edomites (Deut 2:12 telescopes the whole development).
5 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct after the preposition, followed by the subjective genitive.
6 tn The action precedes the action of preparing the gift, and so must be translated as past perfect.
7 tn Heb “eat bread.” The imperfect verbal form is used here as a historic future (future from the perspective of the past).
