NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying.”

²sn The Hebrew word translated “gotten rich” (כָּבוֹד, cavod) has the basic idea of “weight.” If one is heavy with possessions, then that one is wealthy (13:2). Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph all became wealthy when they left the promised land. Jacob’s wealth foreshadows what will happen to Israel when they leave the land of Egypt (Exod 12:35-38).

³tn Heb “and from that which belonged to our father he has gained all this wealth.”
