1 tn Heb “she will become nations.”

2 tn Heb “peoples.”

3 tn The form is the perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive. It carries forward the tone of instruction initiated by the command to “go…and get” in the preceding verse.

4 tn The form is the perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive; it carries the future nuance of the preceding verbs of instruction, but by switching the subject to Jacob, indicates the expected result of the subterfuge.

5 tn Heb “so that.” The conjunction indicates purpose or result.
