TSNTyndale Study Notes:

28:10-22 Despite Jacob’s previous means of securing the blessing, God assured him of protection and provision. The God of Abraham and Isaac was also the God of Jacob. The revelation dramatically changed Jacob’s outlook and brought faith into clearer focus.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה נִצָּ֣ב עָלָי⁠ו֮

and=see/lo/see! YHWH stood on/upon/above=him/it

The phrase for above it in the Hebrew text is ambiguous. It could mean: (1) above it or “at the top of the stairway” or (2) “above/beside him/Jacob”. The interpretation that is not followed in your translation could be put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Then suddenly Yahweh was standing at the top of the stairway,” or “And Yahweh was also there, standing at the top of the stairway”

אֱלֹהֵי֙ אַבְרָהָ֣ם אָבִ֔י⁠ךָ וֵ⁠אלֹהֵ֖י יִצְחָ֑ק

god ʼAⱱrāhām I_will_show=you(ms) and,God Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac)

Abraham was Jacob’s grandfather and ancestor. Alternate translation: “the God whom your forefathers Abraham and Isaac serve” or “the God who takes care of your forefathers Abraham and Isaac.”

הָ⁠אָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתָּה֙ שֹׁכֵ֣ב עָלֶ֔י⁠הָ לְ⁠ךָ֥ אֶתְּנֶ֖⁠נָּה וּ⁠לְ⁠זַרְעֶֽ⁠ךָ

the=earth/land which/who you(ms) lie on/upon=it(f) to/for=yourself(m) give,it and,to,descendants,your

In the Hebrew text, “the land that you are lying on” comes first in this sentence in order to emphasize it and show its importance. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The land where you are lying I am giving to you and your descendants.” or “I will give you and your descendants this land that you are sleeping on.”
