Genesis 37:25

37:25 When they sat down to eat their food, they looked up ⁴  and saw ⁵  a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh down to Egypt. ⁶ 

[29:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and he saw, and look.” As in Gen 28:12-15, the narrator uses the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here and in the next clause to draw the reader into the story.

[29:2]  ² tn Heb “and look, there.”

[29:2]  ³ tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by the noun with the prefixed conjunction) provides supplemental information that is important to the story.

[37:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “lifted up their eyes.”

[37:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they saw and look.” By the use of וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh, “and look”), the narrator invites the reader to see the event through the eyes of the brothers.

[37:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “and their camels were carrying spices, balm, and myrrh, going to go down to Egypt.”
