Kejadian 24:43

24:43 Here I am, standing by the spring. ¹  When ²  the young woman goes out to draw water, I’ll say, “Give me a little water to drink from your jug.”

Kejadian 24:31

24:31 Laban said to him, ³  “Come, you who are blessed by the Lord! ⁴  Why are you standing out here when I have prepared ⁵  the house and a place for the camels?”

[24:43]  ¹ tn Heb “the spring of water.”

[24:43]  ² tn Heb “and it will be.”

[24:31]  ³ tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:31]  ⁴ sn Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.

[24:31]  ⁵ tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.
