Genesis 31:40

31:40 I was consumed by scorching heat ¹  during the day and by piercing cold ²  at night, and I went without sleep. ³ 

---

¹ tn Or “by drought.”

² tn Heb “frost, ice,” though when contrasted with the חֹרֶב (khorev, “drought, parching heat”) of the day, “piercing cold” is more appropriate as a contrast.

³ tn Heb “and my sleep fled from my eyes.”
