Footnotes
- 20 Heb “she took her servant Zilpah and gave her.” The verbs “took” and “gave” are treated as a hendiadys in the translation: “she gave.”
- 21 Heb “and Zilpah, the servant of Leah, bore for Jacob a son.”
- 22 The statement in the Kethib (consonantal text) appears to mean literally “with good fortune,” if one takes the initial בְּ (bet) as a preposition indicating accompaniment. The Qere (marginal reading) means “good fortune has arrived.”
- 23 The name Gad (גָּד, gad) means “good fortune.” The name reflects Leah’s feeling that good fortune has come her way, as expressed in her statement recorded earlier in the verse.
- 24 Heb “and Zilpah, the servant of Leah, bore a second son for Jacob.”
