¹ tn Heb “the spring of water.”

³ tn Heb “and Jacob lifted up his eyes.”

⁴ tn Or “and look, Esau was coming.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to view the scene through Jacob’s eyes.

⁵ tn Heb “And look, seven other cows were coming up after them from the Nile, bad of appearance and thin of flesh.”

⁶ tn Heb “the Nile.” This has been replaced by “the river” in the translation for stylistic reasons.
