Kejadian 35:9

Kejadian 48:3

48:3 Jacob said to Joseph, “The sovereign God ³  appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.

[35:7]  ¹ sn The name El-Bethel means “God of Bethel.”

[35:7]  ² tn Heb “revealed themselves.” The verb נִגְלוּ (niglu), translated “revealed himself,” is plural, even though one expects the singular form with the plural of majesty. Perhaps אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) is here a numerical plural, referring both to God and the angelic beings that appeared to Jacob. See the note on the word “know” in Gen 3:5.

[48:3]  ³ tn Heb “El Shaddai.” See the extended note on the phrase “sovereign God” in Gen 17:1.
