Kejadian 42:33

42:33 “Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain ¹  for your hungry households and go.

Kejadian 42:38

42:38 But Jacob ²  replied, “My son will not go down there with you, for his brother is dead and he alone is left. ³  If an accident happens to him on the journey you have to make, then you will bring down my gray hair ⁴  in sorrow to the grave.” ⁵ 

Kejadian 50:11

50:11 When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion ⁶  for the Egyptians.” That is why its name was called ⁷  Abel Mizraim, ⁸  which is beyond the Jordan.

[42:33]  ¹ tn The word “grain” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:38]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[42:38]  ³ sn The expression he alone is left meant that (so far as Jacob knew) Benjamin was the only surviving child of his mother Rachel.

[42:38]  ⁴ sn The expression bring down my gray hair is figurative, using a part for the whole – they would put Jacob in the grave. But the gray head signifies a long life of worry and trouble.

[42:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “to Sheol,” the dwelling place of the dead.

[50:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “this is heavy mourning for Egypt.”

[50:11]  ⁷ tn The verb has no expressed subject and so it may be translated as passive.

[50:11]  ⁸ sn The name Abel Mizraim means “the mourning of Egypt.”
