Jacob ¹  stayed there that night. Then he sent ²  as a gift ³  to his brother Esau

¹ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

³ sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).
