Genesis 31:40

31:40 I was consumed by scorching heat ¹  during the day and by piercing cold ²  at night, and I went without sleep. ³ 

Genesis 32:10

32:10 I am not worthy of all the faithful love ⁴  you have shown ⁵  your servant. With only my walking stick ⁶  I crossed the Jordan, ⁷  but now I have become two camps.

[31:40]  ¹ tn Or “by drought.”

[31:40]  ² tn Heb “frost, ice,” though when contrasted with the חֹרֶב (khorev, “drought, parching heat”) of the day, “piercing cold” is more appropriate as a contrast.

[31:40]  ³ tn Heb “and my sleep fled from my eyes.”

[32:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “the loving deeds and faithfulness” (see 24:27, 49).

[32:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “you have done with.”

[32:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “for with my staff.” The Hebrew word מַקֵל (maqel), traditionally translated “staff,” has been rendered as “walking stick” because a “staff” in contemporary English refers typically to the support personnel in an organization.

[32:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “this Jordan.”
