1 tn Or “terebinth.” 2 sn The Hebrew word Moreh (מוֹרֶה, moreh) means “teacher.” It may well be that the place of this great oak tree was a Canaanite shrine where instruction took place. 3 tn Heb “as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the oak of Moreh.” 4 tn The disjunctive clause gives important information parenthetical in nature – the promised land was occupied by Canaanites. |
