29:1 So Jacob moved on ²  and came to the land of the eastern people. ³ 

[10:30]  ¹ tn Heb “as you go.”

[29:1]  ² tn Heb “and Jacob lifted up his feet.” This unusual expression suggests that Jacob had a new lease on life now that God had promised him the blessing he had so desperately tried to gain by his own efforts. The text portrays him as having a new step in his walk.

[29:1]  ³ tn Heb “the land of the sons of the east.”
