Genesis 24:12

Context
24:12 He prayed, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today. 1  Be faithful 2  to my master Abraham.

Genesis 24:56

Context
24:56 But he said to them, “Don’t detain me – the Lord 3  has granted me success on my journey. Let me leave now so I may return 4  to my master.”

1 tn Heb “make it happen before me today.” Although a number of English translations understand this as a request for success in the task (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV) it is more likely that the servant is requesting an omen or sign from God (v. 14).

2 tn Heb “act in loyal love with” or “show kindness to.”

3 tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, indicating a reason for the preceding request.

4 tn After the preceding imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.
