[24:10]  ¹ tn Heb “and every good thing of his master was in his hand.” The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, explaining that he took all kinds of gifts to be used at his discretion.

[24:10]  ² tn Heb “and he arose and went.”

[24:10]  ³ tn The words “the region of” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:10]  sn Aram Naharaim means in Hebrew “Aram of the Two Rivers,” a region in northern Mesopotamia.

[31:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “there is to my hand.”

[31:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “watch yourself,” which is a warning to be on guard against doing something that is inappropriate.

[31:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.” The precise meaning of the expression, which occurs only here and in v. 24, is uncertain. See the note on the same phrase in v. 24.

[39:22]  ⁷ 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.

[42:37]  ⁸ tn The nuance of the imperfect verbal form is permissive here.

[42:37]  ⁹ tn Heb “my hand.”

[43:9]  ¹⁰ tn The pronoun before the first person verbal form draws attention to the subject and emphasizes Judah’s willingness to be personally responsible for the boy.

[43:9]  ¹¹ sn I will bear the blame before you all my life. It is not clear how this would work out if Benjamin did not come back. But Judah is offering his life for Benjamin’s if Benjamin does not return.

[43:15]  ¹² tn Heb “they arose and went down to Egypt.” The first verb has an adverbial function and emphasizes that they departed right away.

[44:17]  ¹³ tn The words “the rest of” have been supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[44:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “up” (reflecting directions from their point of view – “up” to Canaan; “down” to Egypt).
