Genesis 31:1-7

31:1

Jacob <03290> [Jacob.]

rich <03519> [glory.]

"Glory" is here used for "wealth," riches, or property; since those who possess riches, generally make them the subject of glory. The original word cavod, signifies both "glory" and "weight."

31:2

face <06440> [countenance.]

attitude <08543> [it was.]

[as before. Heb. as yesterday and the day before.]

31:3

Return <07725> [Return.]

land <0776> [land.]

[with thee.]

31:5

can <07200> [I see.]

God <0430> [the God.]

31:6

31:7

ten times <06235 04489> [ten times.]

The Hebrew, {asereth monim,} is literally, as Aquila renders, "ten numbers;" and Symmachus, "ten times in number;" which probably implies an indefinite number: see ver. 41.

God <0430> [God.]
