Genesis 30:22

Context

30:22 Then God took note of 4  Rachel. He paid attention to her and enabled her to become pregnant. 5 

1 tn Heb “listened to.”

2 tn Or “she conceived” (also in v. 19).

3 tn Heb “and she bore for Jacob a fifth son,” i.e., this was the fifth son that Leah had given Jacob.

4 tn Heb “remembered.”

5 tn Heb “and God listened to her and opened up her womb.” Since “God” is the subject of the previous clause, the noun has been replaced by the pronoun “he” in the translation for stylistic reasons
