Footnotes

  1. 19 The imperative has the force of a prayer here, not a command.
  2. 20 The “hand” here is a metonymy for “power.”
  3. 21 Heb “from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau.”
  4. 22 Heb “for I am afraid of him, lest he come.”
  5. 23 Heb “me, [the] mother upon [the] sons.” The first person pronoun “me” probably means here “me and mine,” as the following clause suggests.
