Genesis 29:7
New English Translation
7 Then Jacob[a] said, “Since it is still the middle of the day,[b] it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze some more.”[c]

- Genesis 29:7 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- Genesis 29:7 tn Heb “the day is great.”
- Genesis 29:7 tn Heb “water the sheep and go and pasture [them].” The verbal forms are imperatives, but Jacob would hardly be giving direct orders to someone else’s shepherds. The nuance here is probably one of advice.
