Footnotes

  1. Genesis 31:20 tn Heb “stole the heart of,” an expression which apparently means “to deceive.” The repetition of the verb “to steal” shows that Jacob and Rachel are kindred spirits. Any thought that Laban would have resigned himself to their departure was now out of the question.
  2. Genesis 31:20 tn Heb “fleeing,” which reflects Jacob’s viewpoint.
