NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “and he saw, and look.” As in Gen 28:12-15, the narrator uses the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here and in the next clause to draw the reader into the story. 2 tn Heb “and look, there.” 3 tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by the noun with the prefixed conjunction) provides supplemental information that is important to the story. |
