Kejadian 34:21

¹ tn The imperfect verbal form has a permissive nuance here.

² tn Heb “before you.”

³ tn The verb seems to carry the basic meaning “travel about freely,” although the substantival participial form refers to a trader (see E. A. Speiser, “The Verb sh£r in Genesis and Early Hebrew Movements,” BASOR 164 [1961]: 23-28); cf. NIV, NRSV “trade in it.”

⁴ tn The perfect verbal form with the vav (ו) consecutive introduces the apodosis of the conditional sentence.

⁵ tn The words “to marry” (and the words “as wives” in the following clause) are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “wide on both hands,” that is, in both directions.

⁷ tn The words “to marry” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
