Genesis 27:45

Deuteronomy 25:6
Context25:6 Then 4 the first son 5 she bears will continue the name of the dead brother, thus preventing his name from being blotted out of Israel.
[27:45] 1 tn The words “stay there” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[27:45] 2 tn Heb “and I will send and I will take you from there.” The verb “send” has no object in the Hebrew text; one must be supplied in the translation. Either “someone” or “a message” could be supplied, but since in those times a message would require a messenger, “someone” has been used.
[27:45] 3 tn If Jacob stayed, he would be killed and Esau would be forced to run away.
[25:6] 4 tn Heb “and it will be that.”
[25:6] 5 tn Heb “the firstborn.” This refers to the oldest male child.
