translationNotes

  • deliver me - "rescue me" or "save me"
  • from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau - These are two ways of saying the same thing. Also, the word "hand" refers to Esau's power. Alternate translation: "from the power of my brother, Esau" or "from my brother, Esau." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet or en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
  • I am afraid of him, that he will - "I am afraid that he will"
  • **make you prosper ** - make you prosper - "do good to you" or "treat you well."
  • I will make your descendants like the sand of the sea - God compared Jacob's descendants to the grains of sand around the sea. This emphasizes the large number of descendants that God will give Jacob. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile)
  • which cannot be numbered for their number - "which you cannot count because of their number"
