Genesis 16:10

Context
16:10 I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, 4  “so that they will be too numerous to count.” 5 

1 tn Heb “And Abram said.”

2 tn The construction uses הֵן (hen) to introduce the foundational clause (“since…”), and וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh) to introduce the main clause (“then look…”).

3 tn Heb “is inheriting me.”

4 tn Heb “The Lord’s angel said, ‘I will greatly multiply your descendants….” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

5 tn Heb “cannot be numbered because of abundance.”
