tn Heb “The days of Adam.”

tn Heb “he fathered.”

tn The word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “And her days were filled to give birth.”

tn Heb “look!” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the audience to view the scene as if they were actually present at the birth.

tn Heb “and he put a journey of three days between himself and Jacob.”

tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by the vav with subject) is circumstantial/temporal; Laban removed the animals while Jacob was taking care of the rest.
