Genesis 32:22

During the night Jacob quickly took ¹  his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons ²  and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. ³ 

That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

Now he arose that same night and took his two wives and his two maids and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

But during the night Jacob got up and sent his two wives, two concubines, and eleven sons across the Jabbok River.

But during the night he got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.

The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.

During the night Jacob quickly took ¹  his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons ²  and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “and he arose in that night and he took.” The first verb is adverbial, indicating that he carried out the crossing right away.

² tn The Hebrew term used here is יֶלֶד (yeled) which typically describes male offspring. Some translations render the term “children” but this is a problem because by this time Jacob had twelve children in all, including one daughter, Dinah, born to Leah (Gen 30:21). Benjamin, his twelfth son and thirteenth child, was not born until later (Gen 35:16-19).

³ sn Hebrew narrative style often includes a summary statement of the whole passage followed by a more detailed report of the event. Here v. 22 is the summary statement, while v. 23 begins the detailed account.
