Kejadian 24:67

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 29:32

29:32 So Leah became pregnant ⁵  and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, ⁶  for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. ⁷  Surely my husband will love me now.”

[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.

[29:32]  ⁵ tn Or “Leah conceived” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35).

[29:32]  ⁶ sn The name Reuben (רְאוּבֵן, rÿ’uven) means “look, a son.”

[29:32]  ⁷ tn Heb “looked on my affliction.”

[29:32]  sn Leah’s explanation of the name Reuben reflects a popular etymology, not an exact one. The name means literally “look, a son.” Playing on the Hebrew verb “look,” she observes that the Lord has “looked” with pity on her oppressed condition. See further S. R. Driver, Genesis, 273.
