[32:13]  1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:13]  2 tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

[32:13]  3 sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).
