24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah ¹  into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took her ²  as his wife and loved her. ³  So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. ⁴ 

Kejadian 27:40-41

27:40 You will live by your sword

but you will serve your brother.

When you grow restless,

you will tear off his yoke

from your neck.” ⁵ 

27:41 So Esau hated ⁶  Jacob because of the blessing his father had given to his brother. ⁷  Esau said privately, ⁸  “The time ⁹  of mourning for my father is near; then I will kill ¹⁰  my brother Jacob!”

Kejadian 50:10

50:10 When they came to the threshing floor of Atad ¹¹  on the other side of the Jordan, they mourned there with very great and bitter sorrow. ¹²  There Joseph observed a seven day period of mourning for his father.

[24:67]  ¹ tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

[24:67]  ² tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[24:67]  ³ tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

[24:67]  ⁴ tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.

[27:40]  ⁵ sn You will tear off his yoke from your neck. It may be that this prophetic blessing found its fulfillment when Jerusalem fell and Edom got its revenge. The oracle makes Edom subservient to Israel and suggests the Edomites would live away from the best land and be forced to sustain themselves by violent measures.

[27:41]  ⁶ tn Or “bore a grudge against” (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV). The Hebrew verb שָׂטַם (satam) describes persistent hatred.

[27:41]  ⁷ tn Heb “because of the blessing which his father blessed him.”

[27:41]  ⁸ tn Heb “said in his heart.” The expression may mean “said to himself.” Even if this is the case, v. 42 makes it clear that he must have shared his intentions with someone, because the news reached Rebekah.

[27:41]  ⁹ tn Heb “days.”

[27:41]  ¹⁰ tn The cohortative here expresses Esau’s determined resolve to kill Jacob.

[50:10]  ¹¹ sn The location of the threshing floor of Atad is not certain. The expression the other side of the Jordan could refer to the eastern or western bank, depending on one’s perspective. However, it is commonly used in the OT for Transjordan. This would suggest that the entourage came up the Jordan Valley and crossed into the land at Jericho, just as the Israelites would in the time of Joshua.

[50:10]  ¹² tn Heb “and they mourned there [with] very great and heavy mourning.” The cognate accusative, as well as the two adjectives and the adverb, emphasize the degree of their sorrow.
