[24:31]  1 tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:31]  2 sn Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.

[24:31]  3 tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.

[43:25]  1 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct after the preposition, followed by the subjective genitive.

[43:25]  2 tn The action precedes the action of preparing the gift, and so must be translated as past perfect.

[43:25]  3 tn Heb “eat bread.” The imperfect verbal form is used here as a historic future (future from the perspective of the past).
