tn Heb “the son of his brother.”

tn For the semantic nuance “acquire [property]” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah), see BDB 795 s.v. עָשָׂה.

tn Heb “went out to go.”

tn Heb “drove,” but this is subject to misunderstanding in contemporary English.

tn Heb “and he led away all his cattle and all his moveable property which he acquired, the cattle he obtained, which he acquired in Paddan Aram to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.”
