| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rachel) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Heb “let it not be hot in the eyes of my lord.” This idiom refers to anger, in this case as a result of Rachel’s failure to stand in the presence of her father as a sign of respect. 3 tn Heb “I am unable to rise.” 4 tn Heb “the way of women is to me.” This idiom refers to a woman’s menstrual period. 5 tn The word “thoroughly” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied. |
