Kejadian 11:8

11:8 So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building ¹  the city.

Kejadian 28:16

28:16 Then Jacob woke up ²  and thought, ³  “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!”

[11:8]  ¹ tn The infinitive construct לִבְנֹת (livnot, “building”) here serves as the object of the verb “they ceased, stopped,” answering the question of what they stopped doing.

[28:16]  ² tn Heb “woke up from his sleep.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[28:16]  ³ tn Heb “said.”
