[31:22]  1 tn Heb “and it was told to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.”

[27:43]  2 tn Heb “listen to my voice.”

[27:43]  3 tn Heb “arise, flee.”

[31:20]  3 tn Heb “stole the heart of,” an expression which apparently means “to deceive.” The repetition of the verb “to steal” shows that Jacob and Rachel are kindred spirits. Any thought that Laban would have resigned himself to their departure was now out of the question.

[31:20]  4 tn Heb “fleeing,” which reflects Jacob’s viewpoint.
