Kejadian 33:14

Kejadian 47:18

[24:48]  ¹ tn Heb “daughter.” Rebekah was actually the granddaughter of Nahor, Abraham’s brother. One can either translate the Hebrew term בַּת (bat) as “daughter,” in which case the term אָח (’akh) must be translated more generally as “relative” rather than “brother” (cf. NASB, NRSV) or one can translate בַּת as “granddaughter,” in which case אָח may be translated “brother” (cf. NIV).

[33:14]  ² tn Heb “and I, I will move along according to my leisure at the foot of the property which is before me and at the foot of the children.”

[44:18]  ³ tn Heb “Please my lord, let your servant speak a word into the ears of my lord.”

[44:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “and let not your anger burn against your servant.”

[44:18]  ⁵ sn You are just like Pharaoh. Judah’s speech begins with the fear and trembling of one who stands condemned. Joseph has as much power as Pharaoh, either to condemn or to pardon. Judah will make his appeal, wording his speech in such a way as to appeal to Joseph’s compassion for the father, whom he mentions no less than fourteen times in the speech.

[47:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “my.” The expression “my lord” occurs twice more in this verse.
