Kejadian 47:23

47:23 Joseph said to the people, “Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate ⁶  the land.

[7:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text of vv. 8-9a reads, “From the clean animal[s] and from the animal[s] which are not clean and from the bird[s] and everything that creeps on the ground, two two they came to Noah to the ark, male and female.”

[7:9]  ² tn Heb “Noah”; the pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[32:13]  ³ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

[32:13]  ⁵ sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).

[47:23]  ⁶ tn The perfect verbal form with the vav consecutive is equivalent to a command here.
