Genesis 23:6
12 | tn Heb “Hear us, my lord.” |
13 | tn Heb “prince of God.” The divine name may be used here as a means of expressing the superlative, “mighty prince.” The word for “prince” probably means “tribal chief” here. See M. H. Gottstein, “Nasi’ ‘elohim (Gen 23:6),” VT 3 (1953) 298–99; and D. W. Thomas, “Consideration of Some Unusual Ways of Expressing the Superlative in Hebrew,” VT 3 (1953) 215–16. |
14 | tn The phrase “to prevent you” has been added in the translation for stylistic reasons. |
