Abstract
This paper reexamines ancient and modern translations of the adjective חום in Genesis 30:32–40. I propose that translating it as »brown« is legitimate and cannot be considered anachronistic, given that the color itself is evident in various ancient archeological finds. Using various equivalent terms in modern languages is unnecessary.
