Kejadian 44:7

44:7 They answered him, “Why does my lord say such things? ⁷  Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! ⁸ 

[24:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and he swore to him concerning this matter.”

[27:43]  ² tn Heb “listen to my voice.”

[27:43]  ³ tn Heb “arise, flee.”

[37:11]  ⁴ sn Joseph’s brothers were already jealous of him, but this made it even worse. Such jealousy easily leads to action, as the next episode in the story shows. Yet dreams were considered a form of revelation, and their jealousy was not only of the favoritism of their father, but of the dreams. This is why Jacob kept the matter in mind.

[37:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “kept the word.” The referent of the Hebrew term “word” has been specified as “what Joseph said” in the translation for clarity, and the words “in mind” have been supplied for stylistic reasons.

[37:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “Look, this master of dreams is coming.” The brothers’ words have a sarcastic note and indicate that they resent his dreams.

[44:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “Why does my lord speak according to these words?”

[44:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “according to this thing.”
