Jacob in Aram, Israel in Egypt, and Ephraim in Trouble

12:12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram,

then Israel worked30 to acquire a wife;

he tended sheep to pay for her.

12:13 The Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet,

and due to a prophet31 Israel32 was preserved alive.33

12:14 But Ephraim bitterly34 provoked him to anger;

so he will hold him accountable for the blood he has shed,35

his Lord36 will repay him for the contempt he has shown.37
