39:1 Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt. ⁶  An Egyptian named Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh and the captain of the guard, ⁷  purchased him from ⁸  the Ishmaelites who had brought him there.

Kejadian 39:8

39:8 But he refused, saying ⁹  to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not give any thought ¹⁰  to his household with me here, ¹¹  and everything that he owns he has put into my care. ¹² 

Kejadian 39:23

39:23 The warden did not concern himself ¹³  with anything that was in Joseph’s ¹⁴  care because the Lord was with him and whatever he was doing the Lord was making successful.

Kejadian 40:8

40:8 They told him, “We both had dreams, ¹⁵  but there is no one to interpret them.” Joseph responded, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell them ¹⁶  to me.”

Kejadian 47:11

47:11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory ²⁸  in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses, ²⁹  just as Pharaoh had commanded.

Kejadian 47:20

47:20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. Each ³⁰  of the Egyptians sold his field, for the famine was severe. ³¹  So the land became Pharaoh’s.

[37:14]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[37:14]  ² tn Heb “see.”

[37:14]  ³ tn Heb “peace.”

[37:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[37:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “they traveled from this place.”

[39:1]  ⁶ tn The disjunctive clause resumes the earlier narrative pertaining to Joseph by recapitulating the event described in 37:36. The perfect verbal form is given a past perfect translation to restore the sequence of the narrative for the reader.

[39:1]  ⁷ sn Captain of the guard. See the note on this phrase in Gen 37:36.

[39:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “from the hand of.”

[39:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he said.”

[39:8]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “know.”

[39:8]  ¹¹ tn The word “here” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[39:8]  ¹² tn Heb “hand.” This is a metonymy for being under the control or care of Joseph.

[39:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “was not looking at anything.”

[39:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[40:8]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “a dream we dreamed.”

[40:8]  ¹⁶ tn The word “them” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[41:51]  ¹⁷ sn The name Manasseh (מְנַשֶּׁה, mÿnasheh) describes God’s activity on behalf of Joseph, explaining in general the significance of his change of fortune. The name is a Piel participle, suggesting the meaning “he who brings about forgetfulness.” The Hebrew verb נַשַּׁנִי (nashani) may have been used instead of the normal נִשַּׁנִי (nishani) to provide a closer sound play with the name. The giving of this Hebrew name to his son shows that Joseph retained his heritage and faith; and it shows that a brighter future was in store for him.

[41:51]  ¹⁸ tn The word “saying” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[41:51]  ¹⁹ tn Or “for.”

[43:30]  ²⁰ tn Heb “for his affection boiled up concerning his brother.” The same expression is used in 1 Kgs 3:26 for the mother’s feelings for her endangered child.

[43:30]  ²¹ tn Heb “and he sought to weep.”

[44:15]  ²² tn Heb “What is this deed you have done?” The demonstrative pronoun (“this”) adds emphasis to the question. A literal translation seems to contradict the following statement, in which Joseph affirms that he is able to divine such matters. Thus here the emotive force of the question has been reflected in the translation, “What did you think you were doing?”

[44:15]  ²³ tn Heb “[is] fully able to divine,” meaning that he can find things out by divination. The infinitive absolute appears before the finite verb for emphasis, stressing his ability to do this.

[45:9]  ²⁴ tn Heb “hurry and go up.”

[45:26]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and his heart was numb.” Jacob was stunned by the unbelievable news and was unable to respond.

[46:27]  ²⁶ tn The LXX reads “nine sons,” probably counting the grandsons of Joseph born to Ephraim and Manasseh (cf. 1 Chr 7:14-20).

[46:27]  ²⁷ tn Heb “And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two people; all the people belonging to the house of Jacob who came to Egypt were seventy.”

[46:27]  sn The number seventy includes Jacob himself and the seventy-one descendants (including Dinah, Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim) listed in vv. 8-25, minus Er and Onan (deceased). The LXX gives the number as “seventy-five” (cf. Acts 7:14).

[47:11]  ²⁸ tn Heb “a possession,” or “a holding.” Joseph gave them a plot of land with rights of ownership in the land of Goshen.

[47:11]  ²⁹ sn The land of Rameses is another designation for the region of Goshen. It is named Rameses because of a city in that region (Exod 1:11; 12:37). The use of this name may represent a modernization of the text for the understanding of the intended readers, substituting a later name for an earlier one. Alternatively, there may have been an earlier Rameses for which the region was named.

[47:20]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew text connects this clause with the preceding one with a causal particle (כִּי, ki). The translation divides the clauses into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[47:20]  ³¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “upon them.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[47:26]  ³² tn On the term translated “statute” see P. Victor, “A Note on Hoq in the Old Testament,” VT 16 (1966): 358-61.

[47:26]  ³³ tn The words “which is in effect” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[48:9]  ³⁴ tn Heb “my.”

[48:9]  ³⁵ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Joseph’s father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[48:9]  ³⁶ tn The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose after the imperative.

[48:17]  ³⁷ tn Heb “it was bad in his eyes.”

[48:21]  ³⁸ tn The pronouns translated “you,” “you,” and “your” in this verse are plural in the Hebrew text.

[50:10]  ³⁹ sn The location of the threshing floor of Atad is not certain. The expression the other side of the Jordan could refer to the eastern or western bank, depending on one’s perspective. However, it is commonly used in the OT for Transjordan. This would suggest that the entourage came up the Jordan Valley and crossed into the land at Jericho, just as the Israelites would in the time of Joshua.

[50:10]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “and they mourned there [with] very great and heavy mourning.” The cognate accusative, as well as the two adjectives and the adverb, emphasize the degree of their sorrow.
