Genesis 24:67

Context
24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah 3  into his mother Sarah’s tent. He took her 4  as his wife and loved her. 5  So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. 6 

1 tn Heb “to go after me.”

2 tn In the Hebrew text the construction is emphatic; the infinitive absolute precedes the imperfect. However, it is difficult to reflect this emphasis in an English translation.

3 tn Heb “her”; the referent has been specified here in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “Rebekah”; here the proper name was replaced by the pronoun (“her”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

5 tn Heb “and he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her.”

6 tn Heb “after his mother.” This must refer to Sarah’s death.
