I haven't pent much time considering how I will translate names. Sometimes I use a transcription, sometimes the common name, and sometimes a wordplay. Isaac, Yitschak is an interesting one in that the name is spelled differently in the Hebrew, once with a sin (ש Psalm 105.9), and several times (so far) with a tsade (צ). Many of the words that my root derivation algorithm fails on are names. But I am down below 58000 total unknowns. And my to-assign list for semantic domains is below 4500 (but there's lots of moot in those assignments that have been made manually or automatically).
There's a shadow of the music of Genesis in verse 12. The spondee rhythm is evident in the English and Hebrew also. The accent is, however, also identical to the refrain of Genesis 1. It is wise to pay attention - this thesis that the accents connect the whole text is a true thesis and a thesis that I have not seen anywhere else in the literature. The classic treatment by Wickes twice expressly denies that the accents connect verses. It seems to me that most of the work I have seen on accents in the 20th century depends on Wickes. His work is very clear, so it can be seen as clearly wrong.
So are there aspects of the music that are of interest here in this rather mundane chapter? Verse 29 (bar 258 ff) has a long list mediated by some interesting ornaments but typical of such a list. You can listen to the midi file too if you want.
