Footnotes

  1. 31 Heb “by a prophet” (so , , , ).
  2. 32 Heb “he”; the referent (Israel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 33 Heb “was protected”; “was kept.” The verb שָׁמַר (shamar, “to watch, guard, keep, protect”) is repeated in 12:13–14 (12:12–13 ). This repetition creates parallels between Jacob’s sojourn in Aram and Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness. Jacob “tended = kept” (שָׁמַר) sheep in Aram, and Israel was “preserved = kept” (נִשְׁמָר, nishmar) by Moses in the wilderness.
