Kejadian 12:5-6

12:5 And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew ¹  Lot, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired ²  in Haran, and they left for ³  the land of Canaan. They entered the land of Canaan.

12:6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the oak tree ⁴  of Moreh ⁵  at Shechem. ⁶  (At that time the Canaanites were in the land.) ⁷ 

Kejadian 19:22

19:22 Run there quickly, ⁸  for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” (This incident explains why the town was called Zoar.) ⁹ 

Kejadian 24:33

24:33 When food was served, ¹⁰  he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I want to say.” ¹¹  “Tell us,” Laban said. ¹² 

Kejadian 29:7

29:7 Then Jacob ¹³  said, “Since it is still the middle of the day, ¹⁴  it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze some more.” ¹⁵ 

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “the son of his brother.”

[12:5]  ² tn For the semantic nuance “acquire [property]” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah), see BDB 795 s.v. עָשָׂה.

[12:5]  ³ tn Heb “went out to go.”

[12:6]  ⁴ tn Or “terebinth.”

[12:6]  ⁵ sn The Hebrew word Moreh (מוֹרֶה, moreh) means “teacher.” It may well be that the place of this great oak tree was a Canaanite shrine where instruction took place.

[12:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the oak of Moreh.”

[12:6]  ⁷ tn The disjunctive clause gives important information parenthetical in nature – the promised land was occupied by Canaanites.

[19:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “Be quick! Escape to there!” The two imperatives form a verbal hendiadys, the first becoming adverbial.

[19:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “Therefore the name of the city is called Zoar.” The name of the place, צוֹעַר (tso’ar) apparently means “Little Place,” in light of the wordplay with the term “little” (מִצְעָר, mits’ar) used twice by Lot to describe the town (v. 20).

[24:33]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and food was placed before him.”

[24:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “my words.”

[24:33]  ¹² tc Some ancient textual witnesses have a plural verb, “and they said.”

[24:33]  tn Heb “and he said, ‘Speak.’” The referent (Laban) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the day is great.”

[29:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “water the sheep and go and pasture [them].” The verbal forms are imperatives, but Jacob would hardly be giving direct orders to someone else’s shepherds. The nuance here is probably one of advice.
