Genesis 31:23

Context
31:23 So he took his relatives 1  with him and pursued Jacob 2  for seven days. 3  He caught up with 4  him in the hill country of Gilead.

Genesis 31:47

Context
31:47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, 5  but Jacob called it Galeed. 6 

1 tn Heb “his brothers.”

2 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “and he pursued after him a journey of seven days.”

4 tn Heb “drew close to.”

5 sn Jegar Sahadutha. Laban the Aramean gave the place an Aramaic name which means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness.”

6 sn Galeed also means “witness pile” or “the pile is a witness,” but this name is Canaanite or Western Semitic and closer to later Hebrew. Jacob, though certainly capable of speaking Aramaic, here prefers to use the western dialect.
