Genesis 24:30

24:30 When he saw the bracelets on his sister’s wrists and the nose ring ¹  and heard his sister Rebekah say, ²  “This is what the man said to me,” he went out to meet the man. There he was, standing ³  by the camels near the spring.

Genesis 20:5

20:5 Did Abraham ⁴  not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ⁵  ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this with a clear conscience ⁶  and with innocent hands!”

Genesis 26:7

26:7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he replied, “She is my sister.” ⁷  He was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” for he thought to himself, ⁸  “The men of this place will kill me to get ⁹  Rebekah because she is very beautiful.”

[24:30]  ¹ tn Heb “And it was when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on the arms of his sister.” The word order is altered in the translation for the sake of clarity.

[24:30]  ² tn Heb “and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying.”

[24:30]  ³ tn Heb “and look, he was standing.” The disjunctive clause with the participle following the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) invites the audience to view the scene through Laban’s eyes.

[20:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and she, even she.”

[20:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “with the integrity of my heart.”

[26:7]  ⁷ sn Rebekah, unlike Sarah, was not actually her husband’s sister.

[26:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “lest.” The words “for he thought to himself” are supplied because the next clause is written with a first person pronoun, showing that Isaac was saying or thinking this.

[26:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “kill me on account of.”
