Kejadian 24:62

24:62 Now ²  Isaac came from ³  Beer Lahai Roi, ⁴  for ⁵  he was living in the Negev. ⁶ 

Kejadian 34:3

34:3 Then he became very attached ⁷  to Dinah, Jacob’s daughter. He fell in love with the young woman and spoke romantically to her. ⁸ 

Kejadian 45:2

45:2 He wept loudly; ⁹  the Egyptians heard it and Pharaoh’s household heard about it. ¹⁰ 

[24:19]  ¹ tn Heb “when she had finished giving him a drink.” This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:62]  ² tn The disjunctive clause switches the audience’s attention to Isaac and signals a new episode in the story.

[24:62]  ³ tn Heb “from the way of.”

[24:62]  ⁴ sn The Hebrew name Beer Lahai Roi (בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי, bÿ’er lakhay ro’i) means “The well of the Living One who sees me.” See Gen 16:14.

[24:62]  ⁵ tn This disjunctive clause is explanatory.

[24:62]  ⁶ tn Or “the South [country].”

[24:62]  sn Negev is the name for the southern desert region in the land of Canaan.

[34:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “his soul stuck to [or “joined with”],” meaning Shechem became very attached to Dinah emotionally.

[34:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he spoke to the heart of the young woman,” which apparently refers in this context to tender, romantic speech (Hos 2:14). Another option is to translate the expression “he reassured the young woman” (see Judg 19:3, 2 Sam 19:7; cf. NEB “comforted her”).

[45:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he gave his voice in weeping,” meaning that Joseph could not restrain himself and wept out loud.

[45:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and the Egyptians heard and the household of Pharaoh heard.” Presumably in the latter case this was by means of a report.
