31:47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, ¹  but Jacob called it Galeed. ² 

Kejadian 49:24

49:24 But his bow will remain steady,

and his hands ³  will be skillful;

because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,

because of ⁴  the Shepherd, the Rock ⁵  of Israel,

[31:47]  ¹ sn Jegar Sahadutha. Laban the Aramean gave the place an Aramaic name which means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness.”

[31:47]  ² sn Galeed also means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness,” but this name is Canaanite or Western Semitic and closer to later Hebrew. Jacob, though certainly capable of speaking Aramaic, here prefers to use the western dialect.

[49:24]  ³ tn Heb “the arms of his hands.”

[49:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “from there,” but the phrase should be revocalized and read “from [i.e., because of] the name of.”

[49:24]  ⁵ tn Or “Stone.”
