Kejadian 41:6

41:6 Then ³  seven heads of grain, thin and burned by the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

Kejadian 41:23

41:23 Then ⁴  seven heads of grain, withered and thin and burned with the east wind, were sprouting up after them.

[11:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the sons of man.” The phrase is intended in this polemic to portray the builders as mere mortals, not the lesser deities that the Babylonians claimed built the city.

[11:5]  ² tn The Hebrew text simply has בָּנוּ (banu), but since v. 8 says they left off building the city, an ingressive idea (“had started building”) should be understood here.

[41:6]  ³ tn Heb “And look.”

[41:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “And look.”
