Genesis 29:1

So Jacob moved on ¹  and came to the land of the eastern people. ² 

Ge 22:20-23; Ge 24:10; Ge 25:20; Ge 28:5-7; Nu 23:7; Jud 6:3,33; Jud 7:12; Jud 8:10; 1Ki 4:30; Ps 119:32,60; Ec 9:7; Ho 12:12

¹ tn Heb “and Jacob lifted up his feet.” This unusual expression suggests that Jacob had a new lease on life now that God had promised him the blessing he had so desperately tried to gain by his own efforts. The text portrays him as having a new step in his walk.

² tn Heb “the land of the sons of the east.”
