# He said to him

"Jacob said to Laban"
|
|
|
|
# What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?
|
|
|
|
The phrases "What is my offense" and "What is my sin" mean basically the same thing. Jacob is asking Laban to tell him what he did wrong. Alternate translation: "What have I done wrong that you should pursue me like this?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# hotly pursued me
|
|
|
|
Here the word "hotly" means Laban urgently chased Jacob intending to capture him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
