| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “and now.” The words “I understand that” have been supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons. 2 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the perfect verbal form to emphasize the certainty of the action. 3 tn The infinitive absolute appears before the perfect verbal form to emphasize the degree of emotion involved. 4 sn Yet why did you steal my gods? This last sentence is dropped into the speech rather suddenly. See C. Mabee, “Jacob and Laban: The Structure of Judicial Proceedings,” VT 30 (1980): 192-207, and G. W. Coats, “Self-Abasement and Insult Formulas,” JBL 91 (1972): 90-92. |
