Blessing on Joseph

33:13 Of Joseph he said:

May the Lord bless his land

with the harvest produced by the sky, ⁸  by the dew,

and by the depths crouching beneath;

[1:27]  ¹ tn Heb “in your tents,” that is, privately.

[3:26]  ² tn Heb “the Lord.” For stylistic reasons the pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation here.

[3:26]  ³ tn Heb “much to you” (an idiom).

[9:25]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text includes “when I prostrated myself.” Since this is redundant, it has been left untranslated.

[9:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.

[14:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); TEV, NLT “people.”

[14:1]  ⁷ sn Do not cut yourselves or shave your forehead bald. These were pagan practices associated with mourning the dead; they were not be imitated by God’s people (though they frequently were; cf. 1 Kgs 18:28; Jer 16:6; 41:5; 47:5; Hos 7:14 [LXX]; Mic 5:1). For other warnings against such practices see Lev 21:5; Jer 16:5.

[33:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “from the harvest of the heavens.” The referent appears to be good crops produced by the rain that falls from the sky.
