Kejadian 43:2

43:2 When they finished eating the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Return, buy us a little more food.”

[3:2]  ¹ tn There is a notable change between what the Lord God had said and what the woman says. God said “you may freely eat” (the imperfect with the infinitive absolute, see 2:16), but the woman omits the emphatic infinitive, saying simply “we may eat.” Her words do not reflect the sense of eating to her heart’s content.

[6:21]  ² tn The verb is a direct imperative: “And you, take for yourself.” The form stresses the immediate nature of the instruction; the pronoun underscores the directness.

[6:21]  ³ tn Heb “from all food,” meaning “some of every kind of food.”

[6:21]  ⁴ tn Or “will be eaten.”

[6:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “and gather it to you.”

[24:56]  ⁶ tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial, indicating a reason for the preceding request.

[24:56]  ⁷ tn After the preceding imperative, the cohortative with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose or result.
