Kejadian 43:34
Konteks43:34 He gave them portions of the food set before him, 1 but the portion for Benjamin was five times greater than the portions for any of the others. They drank with Joseph until they all became drunk. 2
Ester 2:9
Konteks2:9 This young woman pleased him, 3 and she found favor with him. He quickly provided her with her cosmetics and her rations; he also provided her with the seven specially chosen 4 young women who were from the palace. He then transferred her and her young women to the best quarters in the harem. 5
[43:34] 1 tn Heb “and he lifted up portions from before his face to them.”
[43:34] 2 tn Heb “and they drank and were intoxicated with him” (cf. NIV “drank freely with him”; NEB “grew merry”; NRSV “were merry”). The brothers were apparently relaxed and set at ease, despite Joseph’s obvious favoritism toward Benjamin.
[2:9] 3 tn Heb “was good in his eyes”; NLT “Hegai was very impressed with Esther.”
[2:9] 4 tn Heb “being looked at (with favor).”
[2:9] 5 tn Heb “of the house of the women” (so KJV, ASV). So also in vv. 11, 13, 14.
