[31:21] 1 tn Heb “and he fled.”
[31:21] 2 tn Heb “he arose and crossed.” The first verb emphasizes that he wasted no time in getting across.
[31:21] 3 tn Heb “the river”; the referent (the Euphrates) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[31:21] 4 tn Heb “he set his face.”
[31:25] 5 tn Heb “and Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban pitched with his brothers in the hill country of Gilead.” The juxtaposition of disjunctive clauses (note the pattern conjunction + subject + verb in both clauses) indicates synchronism of action.
