Kejadian 21:26

21:26 “I do not know who has done this thing,” Abimelech replied. “Moreover, ¹  you did not tell me. I did not hear about it until today.”

Kejadian 33:18

33:18 After he left Paddan Aram, Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped near ²  the city.

Kejadian 34:5

34:5 When ³  Jacob heard that Shechem ⁴  had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent ⁵  until they came in.

[21:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and also.”

[33:18]  ² tn Heb “in front of.”

[34:5]  ³ tn The two disjunctive clauses in this verse (“Now Jacob heard…and his sons were”) are juxtaposed to indicate synchronic action.

[34:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:5]  ⁵ sn The expected response would be anger or rage; but Jacob remained silent. He appears too indifferent or confused to act decisively. When the leader does not act decisively, the younger zealots will, and often with disastrous results.
