Kejadian 48:14

[14:24]  ¹ tn The words “I will take nothing” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[14:24]  ² tn Heb “except only what the young men have eaten.”

[27:29]  ³ tn Heb “and be.” The verb is an imperative, which is used rhetorically in this oracle of blessing. It is an invitation to exercise authority his brothers and indicates that he is granted such authority by the patriarch of the family. Furthermore, the blessing enables the recipient to accomplish this.

[27:29]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word is גְבִיר (gevir, “lord, mighty one”). The one being blessed will be stronger and therefore more powerful than his brother. See Gen 25:23. The feminine form of this rare noun means “mistress” or “queen-mother.”

[27:29]  ⁵ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form (which is either an imperfect or a jussive) with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.

[39:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “all which they were doing there, he was doing.” This probably means that Joseph was in charge of everything that went on in the prison.

[39:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “was not looking at anything.”

[39:23]  ⁸ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[44:2]  ⁹ tn The imperfect verbal form is used here to express Joseph’s instructions.

[44:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he did according to the word of Joseph which he spoke.”

[46:27]  ¹¹ tn The LXX reads “nine sons,” probably counting the grandsons of Joseph born to Ephraim and Manasseh (cf. 1 Chr 7:14-20).

[46:27]  ¹² tn Heb “And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two people; all the people belonging to the house of Jacob who came to Egypt were seventy.”

[46:27]  sn The number seventy includes Jacob himself and the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah, Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim) listed in vv. 8-25, minus Er and Onan (deceased). The LXX gives the number as “seventy-five” (cf. Acts 7:14).

[48:14]  ¹³ tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial-concessive here.
