Kejadian 43:33

43:33 They sat before him, arranged by order of birth, beginning with the firstborn and ending with the youngest. ¹¹  The men looked at each other in astonishment. ¹² 

[24:58]  ¹ tn The imperfect verbal form here has a modal nuance, expressing desire.

[32:30]  ² sn The name Peniel means “face of God.” Since Jacob saw God face to face here, the name is appropriate.

[32:30]  ³ tn The word “explaining” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[32:30]  ⁴ tn Or “because.”

[32:30]  ⁵ sn I have seen God face to face. See the note on the name “Peniel” earlier in the verse.

[32:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “and my soul [= life] has been preserved.”

[32:30]  sn I have survived. It was commonly understood that no one could see God and live (Gen 48:16; Exod 19:21, 24:10; and Judg 6:11, 22). On the surface Jacob seems to be saying that he saw God and survived. But the statement may have a double meaning, in light of his prayer for deliverance in v. 11. Jacob recognizes that he has survived his encounter with God and that his safety has now been guaranteed.

[42:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “made us.”

[42:30]  ⁸ tn The words “if we were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[43:6]  ⁹ tn The verb may even have a moral connotation here, “Why did you do evil to me?”

[43:6]  ¹⁰ tn The infinitive construct here explains how they brought trouble on Jacob.

[43:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth.”

[43:33]  ¹² sn The brothers’ astonishment indicates that Joseph arranged them in this way. They were astonished because there was no way, as far as they were concerned, that Joseph could have known the order of their birth.
