Kejadian 48:19

48:19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become great. In spite of this, his younger brother will be even greater and his descendants will become a multitude ¹  of nations.”

Kejadian 25:27

25:27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled ²  hunter, a man of the open fields, but Jacob was an even-tempered man, living in tents. ³ 

[48:19]  ¹ tn Heb “fullness.”

[25:27]  ² tn Heb “knowing.”

[25:27]  ³ tn The disjunctive clause juxtaposes Jacob with Esau and draws attention to the striking contrasts. In contrast to Esau, a man of the field, Jacob was civilized, as the phrase “living in tents” signifies. Whereas Esau was a skillful hunter, Jacob was calm and even-tempered (תָּם, tam), which normally has the idea of “blameless.”
