Footnotes
- 104 Heb “and Mizpah.”
- 105 The name Mizpah (מִצְפָּה, mitspah), which means “watchpost,” sounds like the verb translated “may he watch” (יִצֶף, yitsef). Neither Laban nor Jacob felt safe with each other, and so they agreed to go their separate ways, trusting the Lord to keep watch at the border. Jacob did not need this treaty, but Laban, perhaps because he had lost his household gods, felt he did.
- 106 Heb “between me and you.”
- 107 Heb “for we will be hidden, each man from his neighbor.”
