Genesis 44:6

44:6 When the man overtook them, he spoke these words to them.

Genesis 31:25

31:25 Laban overtook Jacob, and when Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead, Laban and his relatives set up camp there too.


tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the man who was in charge of Joseph’s household) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “and Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban pitched with his brothers in the hill country of Gilead.” The juxtaposition of disjunctive clauses (note the pattern conjunction + subject + verb in both clauses) indicates synchronism of action.
