Kejadian 31:1

Jacob’s Flight from Laban

31:1 Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were complaining, ²  “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father! He has gotten rich ³  at our father’s expense!” ⁴ 

Kejadian 31:46

31:46 Then he ⁵  said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. ⁶  They ate there by the pile of stones.

[28:9]  ¹ tn Heb “took for a wife.”

[31:1]  ² tn Heb “and he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying.”

[31:1]  ³ sn The Hebrew word translated “gotten rich” (כָּבוֹד, cavod) has the basic idea of “weight.” If one is heavy with possessions, then that one is wealthy (13:2). Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph all became wealthy when they left the promised land. Jacob’s wealth foreshadows what will happen to Israel when they leave the land of Egypt (Exod 12:35-38).

[31:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and from that which belonged to our father he has gained all this wealth.”

[31:46]  ⁵ tn Heb “Jacob”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[31:46]  ⁶ sn The Hebrew word for “pile” is גַּל (gal), which sounds like the name “Galeed” (גַּלְעֵד, gal’ed). See v. 48.
