Genesis 32:11

Context
32:11 Rescue me, 1  I pray, from the hand 2  of my brother Esau, 3  for I am afraid he will come 4  and attack me, as well as the mothers with their children. 5 

1 tn The imperative has the force of a prayer here, not a command.

2 tn The “hand” here is a metonymy for “power.”

3 tn Heb “from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau.”

4 tn Heb “for I am afraid of him, lest he come.”

5 sn Heb “me, [the] mother upon [the] sons.” The first person pronoun “me” probably means here “me and mine,” as the following clause suggests.
