9:8 God said to Noah and his sons, 1
42:27 When one of them 3 opened his sack to get feed for his donkey at their resting place, 4 he saw his money in the mouth of his sack. 5
49:11 Binding his foal to the vine,
and his colt to the choicest vine,
he will wash 6 his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.
49:33 When Jacob finished giving these instructions to his sons, he pulled his feet up onto the bed, breathed his last breath, and went 7 to his people.
1 tn Heb “to Noah and to his sons with him, saying.”
2 tn Heb “and he swore to him concerning this matter.”
3 tn Heb “and the one.” The article indicates that the individual is vivid in the mind of the narrator, yet it is not important to identify him by name.
4 tn Heb “at the lodging place.”
5 tn Heb “and look, it [was] in the mouth of his sack.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to look through the eyes of the character and thereby draws attention to the money.
6 tn The perfect verbal form is used rhetorically, describing coming events as though they have already taken place.
7 tn Heb “was gathered.”
