Kejadian 41:43-44

41:43 Pharaoh ¹  had him ride in the chariot used by his second-in-command, ²  and they cried out before him, “Kneel down!” ³  So he placed him over all the land of Egypt. 41:44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission ⁴  no one ⁵  will move his hand or his foot ⁶  in all the land of Egypt.”

[41:43]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Pharaoh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[41:43]  ² tn Heb “and he caused him to ride in the second chariot which was his.”

[41:43]  ³ tn The verb form appears to be a causative imperative from a verbal root meaning “to kneel.” It is a homonym of the word “bless” (identical in root letters but not related etymologically).

[41:44]  ⁴ tn Heb “apart from you.”

[41:44]  ⁵ tn Heb “no man,” but here “man” is generic, referring to people in general.

[41:44]  ⁶ tn The idiom “lift up hand or foot” means “take any action” here.
