NET © Notes |
1 tn The imperative has the force of a prayer here, not a command. 2 tn The “hand” here is a metonymy for “power.” 3 tn Heb “from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau.” 4 tn Heb “for I am afraid of him, lest he come.” 5 sn Heb “me, [the] mother upon [the] sons.” The first person pronoun “me” probably means here “me and mine,” as the following clause suggests. |
