Genesis 26:11

26:11 So Abimelech commanded all the people, “Whoever touches ¹  this man or his wife will surely be put to death.” ² 

Genesis 26:29

26:29 so that ³  you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed ⁴  you, but have always treated you well ⁵  before sending you away ⁶  in peace. Now you are blessed by the Lord.” ⁷ 

[26:11]  ¹ tn Heb “strikes.” Here the verb has the nuance “to harm in any way.” It would include assaulting the woman or killing the man.

[26:11]  ² tn The use of the infinitive absolute before the imperfect makes the construction emphatic.

[26:29]  ³ tn The oath formula is used: “if you do us harm” means “so that you will not do.”

[26:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “touched.”

[26:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “and just as we have done only good with you.”

[26:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “and we sent you away.”

[26:29]  ⁷ tn The Philistine leaders are making an observation, not pronouncing a blessing, so the translation reads “you are blessed” rather than “may you be blessed” (cf. NAB).
