Kejadian 41:55

41:55 When all the land of Egypt experienced the famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh said to all the people of Egypt, ¹  “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”

Kejadian 43:34

43:34 He gave them portions of the food set before him, ²  but the portion for Benjamin was five times greater than the portions for any of the others. They drank with Joseph until they all became drunk. ³ 

[41:55]  ¹ tn Heb “to all Egypt.” The name of the country is used by metonymy for the inhabitants.

[43:34]  ² tn Heb “and he lifted up portions from before his face to them.”

[43:34]  ³ tn Heb “and they drank and were intoxicated with him” (cf. NIV “drank freely with him”; NEB “grew merry”; NRSV “were merry”). The brothers were apparently relaxed and set at ease, despite Joseph’s obvious favoritism toward Benjamin.
