Footnotes

  1. 30 Heb “and she said to her”; the referent of the pronoun “she” (Leah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 31 Heb “therefore.”
  3. 32 Heb “lie down.” The expression “lie down with” in this context (here and in the following verse) refers to sexual intercourse. The imperfect verbal form has a permissive nuance here.
