Genesis 24:31

Context
24:31 Laban said to him, 1  “Come, you who are blessed by the Lord! 2  Why are you standing out here when I have prepared 3  the house and a place for the camels?”

1 tn Heb “and he said.” The referent (Laban) has been specified and the words “to him” supplied in the translation for clarity.

2 sn Laban’s obsession with wealth is apparent; to him it represents how one is blessed by the Lord. Already the author is laying the foundation for subsequent events in the narrative, where Laban’s greed becomes his dominant characteristic.

3 tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial.
