[29:28]  ¹ tn Heb “and Jacob did so.” The words “as Laban said” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[29:28]  ² tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:28]  ³ tn Heb “the seven of this one.” The referent of “this one” has been specified in the translation as Leah to avoid confusion with Rachel, mentioned later in the verse.

[29:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he gave to him Rachel his daughter for him for a wife.” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Laban) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:5]  ⁵ tn The two disjunctive clauses in this verse (“Now Jacob heard…and his sons were”) are juxtaposed to indicate synchronic action.

[34:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:5]  ⁷ sn The expected response would be anger or rage; but Jacob remained silent. He appears too indifferent or confused to act decisively. When the leader does not act decisively, the younger zealots will, and often with disastrous results.

[46:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”
