NET Notes

¹tn The cohortative verbal form here indicates a polite offer of help.

²tn Heb “and he said, ‘Why this?’” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified for clarity, and the order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³tn Heb “I am finding favor in the eyes of my lord.”
