[30:20]  1 sn The name Zebulun (זְבֻלוּן, zevulun) apparently means “honor.” The name plays on the verb used in the statement made earlier in the verse. The Hebrew verb translated “will honor” and the name Zebulun derive from the same root.

[31:41]  2 tn Heb “this to me.”

[31:41]  3 tn Heb “served you,” but in this accusatory context the meaning is more “worked like a slave.”
