Genesis 31:23

Context
31:23 So he took his relatives 1  with him and pursued Jacob 2  for seven days. 3  He caught up with 4  him in the hill country of Gilead.

Genesis 31:25

Context

31:25 Laban overtook Jacob, and when Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead, Laban and his relatives set up camp there too. 5 

1 tn Heb “his brothers.”

2 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “and he pursued after him a journey of seven days.”

4 tn Heb “drew close to.”

5 tn Heb “and Jacob pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban pitched with his brothers in the hill country of Gilead.” The juxtaposition of disjunctive clauses (note the pattern conjunction + subject + verb in both clauses) indicates synchronism of action.
