Kejadian 26:22
Konteks26:22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac 1 named it 2 Rehoboth, 3 saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”
Kejadian 36:31

[26:22] 1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[36:31] 4 tn Or perhaps “before any Israelite king ruled over [them].”
