Genesis 29:2

Context
29:2 He saw 1  in the field a well with 2  three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now 3  a large stone covered the mouth of the well.

1 tn Heb “and he saw, and look.” As in Gen 28:12-15, the narrator uses the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) here and in the next clause to draw the reader into the story.

2 tn Heb “and look, there.”

3 tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by the noun with the prefixed conjunction) provides supplemental information that is important to the story.
