29:29 (Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.) ¹ 

Kejadian 34:5

34:5 When ²  Jacob heard that Shechem ³  had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent ⁴  until they came in.

Imamat 18:8

18:8 You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife; she is your father’s nakedness. ⁵ 

[29:29]  ¹ tn Heb “and Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his female servant, for her for a servant.”

[34:5]  ² tn The two disjunctive clauses in this verse (“Now Jacob heard…and his sons were”) are juxtaposed to indicate synchronic action.

[34:5]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:5]  ⁴ sn The expected response would be anger or rage; but Jacob remained silent. He appears too indifferent or confused to act decisively. When the leader does not act decisively, the younger zealots will, and often with disastrous results.

[18:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “the nakedness of your father she is.” See the note on v. 7 above. This law refers to another wife of the man’s father, who is not that man’s mother. The laws in the Pentateuch sometimes assume the possibility that a man may have more than one wife (cf., e.g., Deut 21:15-17).
