Genesis 26:29

Context
26:29 so that 1  you will not do us any harm, just as we have not harmed 2  you, but have always treated you well 3  before sending you away 4  in peace. Now you are blessed by the Lord.” 5 

1 tn The oath formula is used: “if you do us harm” means “so that you will not do.”

2 tn Heb “touched.”

3 tn Heb “and just as we have done only good with you.”

4 tn Heb “and we sent you away.”

5 tn The Philistine leaders are making an observation, not pronouncing a blessing, so the translation reads “you are blessed” rather than “may you be blessed” (cf. NAB).
