Footnotes

  1. 12 Heb “said.”
  2. 13 Heb “the one who said.”
  3. 14 Heb “I will cause good” or “I will treat well [or “favorably”].” The idea includes more than prosperity, though that is its essential meaning. Here the form is subordinated to the preceding imperative and indicates purpose or result. Jacob is reminding God of his promise in the hope that God will honor his word.
