1 tn Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 tn The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. NASB, NIV “to meditate”; NRSV “to walk”).
3 tn Heb “at the turning of the evening.”
4 tn Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.
5 tn Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.
6 tn Heb “and they got up early and they swore an oath, a man to his brother.”
7 tn Heb “and they went from him in peace.”

9 tn Heb “and Laban got up early in the morning and he kissed.”
10 tn Heb “his sons.”
11 tn Heb “to his place.”
