[16:8]  ¹ tn Heb “from the presence of.”

[29:6]  ² tn Heb “and he said to them, ‘Is there peace to him?’”

[29:6]  ³ tn Heb “peace.”

[32:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he said, ‘I will not let you go.’” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified for clarity, and the order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[32:26]  ⁷ sn Jacob wrestled with a man thinking him to be a mere man, and on that basis was equal to the task. But when it had gone on long enough, the night visitor touched Jacob and crippled him.

Contrary to many allegorical interpretations of the passage that make fighting equivalent to prayer, this passage shows that Jacob stopped fighting, and then asked for a blessing.

[38:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “until you send.”
