Kejadian 6:20

6:20 Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive. ¹ 

Kejadian 27:8

27:8 Now then, my son, do ²  exactly what I tell you! ³ 

Kejadian 40:1

The Cupbearer and the Baker

40:1 After these things happened, the cupbearer ⁴  to the king of Egypt and the royal baker ⁵  offended ⁶  their master, the king of Egypt.

Kejadian 46:19-20

46:19 The sons of Rachel the wife of Jacob:

Joseph and Benjamin.

46:20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, ⁷  bore them to him.

[6:20]  ¹ tn Heb “to keep alive.”

[27:8]  ² tn Heb “listen to my voice.” The Hebrew idiom means “to comply; to obey.”

[27:8]  ³ tn Heb “to that which I am commanding you.”

[40:1]  ⁴ sn The Hebrew term cupbearer corresponds to the Egyptian wb’, an official (frequently a foreigner) who often became a confidant of the king and wielded political power (see K. A. Kitchen, NBD³ 248). Nehemiah held this post in Persia.

[40:1]  ⁵ sn The baker may be the Egyptian retehti, the head of the bakers, who had privileges in the royal court.

[40:1]  ⁶ sn The Hebrew verb translated offended here is the same one translated “sin” in 39:9. Perhaps there is an intended contrast between these officials, who deserve to be imprisoned, and Joseph, who refused to sin against God, but was thrown into prison in spite of his innocence.

[46:20]  ⁷ sn On is another name for the city of Heliopolis.
