[27:45]  ¹ tn The words “stay there” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[27:45]  ² tn Heb “and I will send and I will take you from there.” The verb “send” has no object in the Hebrew text; one must be supplied in the translation. Either “someone” or “a message” could be supplied, but since in those times a message would require a messenger, “someone” has been used.

[27:45]  ³ tn If Jacob stayed, he would be killed and Esau would be forced to run away.

[31:3]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “ancestors” (so NRSV), although the only “ancestors” Jacob had there were his grandfather Abraham and his father Isaac.

[31:3]  ⁵ sn I will be with you. Though Laban was no longer “with him,” the Lord promised to be.

[31:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “I see the face of your father, that he is not toward me as formerly.”

[32:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “said.”

[32:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “the one who said.”

[32:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “I will cause good” or “I will treat well [or “favorably”].” The idea includes more than prosperity, though that is its essential meaning. Here the form is subordinated to the preceding imperative and indicates purpose or result. Jacob is reminding God of his promise in the hope that God will honor his word.

[35:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “let us arise and let us go up.” The first cohortative gives the statement a sense of urgency.

[35:3]  ¹¹ tn The cohortative with the prefixed conjunction here indicates purpose or consequence.

[35:3]  ¹² tn Heb “day of distress.” See Ps 20:1 which utilizes similar language.

[35:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “in the way in which I went.” Jacob alludes here to God’s promise to be with him (see Gen 28:20).

[48:21]  ¹⁴ tn The pronouns translated “you,” “you,” and “your” in this verse are plural in the Hebrew text.
