Genesis 8:11

8:11 When ¹  the dove returned to him in the evening, there was ²  a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak! Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

Genesis 27:38

27:38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only that one blessing, my father? Bless me too!” ³  Then Esau wept loudly. ⁴ 

¹ tn The clause introduced by vav (ו) consecutive is translated as a temporal clause subordinated to the following clause.

² tn The deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) draws attention to the olive leaf. It invites readers to enter into the story, as it were, and look at the olive leaf with their own eyes.

³ tn Heb “Bless me, me also, my father.” The words “my father” have not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Heb “and Esau lifted his voice and wept.”
