Kejadian 4:6

4:6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why is your expression downcast?

Kejadian 10:21

10:21 And sons were also born ¹  to Shem (the older brother of Japheth), ²  the father of all the sons of Eber.

Kejadian 30:4

30:4 So Rachel ³  gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob had marital relations with ⁴  her.

Kejadian 30:28

30:28 He added, “Just name your wages – I’ll pay whatever you want.” ⁵ 

[10:21]  ¹ tn Heb “And to Shem was born.”

[10:21]  ² tn Or “whose older brother was Japheth.” Some translations render Japheth as the older brother, understanding the adjective הַגָּדוֹל (haggadol, “older”) as modifying Japheth. However, in Hebrew when a masculine singular definite attributive adjective follows the sequence masculine singular construct noun + proper name, the adjective invariably modifies the noun in construct, not the proper name. Such is the case here. See Deut 11:7; Judg 1:13; 2:7; 3:9; 9:5; 2 Kgs 15:35; 2 Chr 27:3; Neh 3:30; Jer 13:9; 36:10; Ezek 10:19; 11:1.

[30:4]  ³ tn Heb “and she”; the referent (Rachel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[30:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “went in to.” The expression “went in to” in this context refers to sexual intercourse.

[30:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “set your wage for me so I may give [it].”
