Footnotes

  1. 56 Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.
  2. 57 Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.
  3. 58 The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.
