He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching.

Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming.

One evening as he was taking a walk out in the fields, meditating, he looked up and saw the camels coming.

In the evening he went out into the field; while meditating he looked up and saw camels coming.

And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.

¹ tn Heb “Isaac”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

² tn The meaning of this Hebrew term is uncertain (cf. NASB, NIV “to meditate”; NRSV “to walk”).

³ tn Heb “at the turning of the evening.”

⁴ tn Heb “And he lifted up his eyes.” This idiom emphasizes the careful look Isaac had at the approaching caravan.

⁵ tn Heb “and look.” The clause introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) invites the audience to view the scene through Isaac’s eyes.
