Genesis 31:32

Context

1 tn Heb “from upon the surface of the ground.”

2 sn I must hide from your presence. The motif of hiding from the Lord as a result of sin also appears in Gen 3:8-10.

3 tn Heb “With whomever you find your gods, he will not live.”

4 tn Heb “brothers.”

5 tn Heb “recognize for yourself what is with me and take for yourself.”

6 tn The disjunctive clause (introduced here by a vav [ו] conjunction) provides supplemental material that is important to the story. Since this material is parenthetical in nature, it has been placed in parentheses in the translation.
