If the translator's understanding of a narrative from the narrator's point of view is erroneous, then the whole process of translating the message into another language may also fall into error. This poses Bible translators a difficult challenge: 'How can we understand the narrator's point of view of the biblical stories which are culturally, geographically, and historically remote from our own?'\u003cbr\u003eUnderstanding a text from the narrator's point of view must precede the translation process. In this work Hankore presents an argument for the intended utterance of Genesis 28:10-35:15 before proposing in brief how to translate it. By following this process, Hankore shows that a correct understanding of the concept of the ancient Israelite vow in the framework of a social institution is fundamental to reading and translating Genesis 28:10-35:15, and goes on to show how this same votive framework assists an explanation of the relevance of Genesis 34 to the Jacob story.","brand":"Daniel Hankore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49056411123963,"sku":"9780227173961","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d72db231-0c46-4037-9992-3bda0276bdf8.jpg?v=1783499307","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-abduction-of-dinah-9780227173961","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
