Kejadian 46:34

46:34 Tell him, ‘Your servants have taken care of cattle ³  from our youth until now, both we and our fathers,’ so that you may live in the land of Goshen, ⁴  for everyone who takes care of sheep is disgusting ⁵  to the Egyptians.”

Kejadian 48:7

48:7 But as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, Rachel died – to my sorrow ⁶  – in the land of Canaan. It happened along the way, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem). ⁷ 

Kejadian 50:5

50:5 ‘My father made me swear an oath. He said, ⁸  “I am about to die. Bury me ⁹  in my tomb that I dug for myself there in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go and bury my father; then I will return.’”

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “from upon the surface of the ground.”

[4:14]  ² sn I must hide from your presence. The motif of hiding from the Lord as a result of sin also appears in Gen 3:8-10.

[46:34]  ³ tn Heb “your servants are men of cattle.”

[46:34]  ⁴ sn So that you may live in the land of Goshen. Joseph is apparently trying to stress to Pharaoh that his family is self-sufficient, that they will not be a drain on the economy of Egypt. But they will need land for their animals and so Goshen, located on the edge of Egypt, would be a suitable place for them to live. The settled Egyptians were uneasy with nomadic people, but if Jacob and his family settled in Goshen they would represent no threat.

[46:34]  ⁵ tn Heb “is an abomination.” The Hebrew word תּוֹעֵבָה (to’evah, “abomination”) describes something that is loathsome or off-limits. For other practices the Egyptians considered disgusting, see Gen 43:32 and Exod 8:22.

[48:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “upon me, against me,” which might mean something like “to my sorrow.”
