Kejadian 10:9

10:9 He was a mighty hunter ¹  before the Lord. ²  (That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”)

Kejadian 39:23

39:23 The warden did not concern himself ³  with anything that was in Joseph’s ⁴  care because the Lord was with him and whatever he was doing the Lord was making successful.

[10:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word for “hunt” is צַיִד (tsayid), which is used on occasion for hunting men (1 Sam 24:12; Jer 16:16; Lam 3:15).

[10:9]  ² tn Another option is to take the divine name here, לִפְנֵי יִהוָה (lifne yÿhvah, “before the Lord [YHWH]”), as a means of expressing the superlative degree. In this case one may translate “Nimrod was the greatest hunter in the world.”

[39:23]  ³ tn Heb “was not looking at anything.”

[39:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
