Kejadian 30:33

30:33 My integrity will testify for me ⁸  later on. ⁹  When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, ¹⁰  if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.” ¹¹

Joseph’s Wise Administration

47:1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of

Canaan. They are now ¹⁸  in the land of Goshen.”

Kejadian 50:11

50:11 When the Canaanites who lived in the land saw them mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a very sad occasion ¹⁹  for the Egyptians.” That is why its name was called ²⁰  Abel Mizraim, ²¹  which is beyond the Jordan.

[11:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and one lip to all of them.”

[11:6]  ² tn Heb “and now.” The foundational clause beginning with הֵן (hen) expresses the condition, and the second clause the result. It could be rendered “If this…then now.”

[11:6]  ³ tn Heb “all that they purpose to do will not be withheld from them.”

[19:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “who have not known.” Here this expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[19:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “according to what is good in your eyes.”

[19:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “shadow.”

[19:8]  ⁷ sn This chapter portrays Lot as a hypocrite. He is well aware of the way the men live in his city and is apparently comfortable in the midst of it. But when confronted by the angels, he finally draws the line. But he is nevertheless willing to sacrifice his daughters’ virginity to protect his guests. His opposition to the crowds leads to his rejection as a foreigner by those with whom he had chosen to live. The one who attempted to rescue his visitors ends up having to be rescued by them.

[30:33]  ⁸ tn Heb “will answer on my behalf.”

[30:33]  ⁹ tn Heb “on the following day,” or “tomorrow.”

[30:33]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “when you come concerning my wage before you.”

[30:33]  sn Only the wage we agreed on. Jacob would have to be considered completely honest here, for he would have no control over the kind of animals born; and there could be no disagreement over which animals were his wages.

[30:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “every one which is not speckled and spotted among the lambs and dark among the goats, stolen it is with me.”

[31:32]  ¹² tn Heb “With whomever you find your gods, he will not live.”

[31:32]  ¹³ tn Heb “brothers.”

[31:32]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “recognize for yourself what is with me and take for yourself.”

[31:32]  ¹⁵ tn The disjunctive clause (introduced here by a vav [ו] conjunction) provides supplemental material that is important to the story. Since this material is parenthetical in nature, it has been placed in parentheses in the translation.

[36:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “from before.”

[39:9]  ¹⁷ tn The nuance of potential imperfect fits this context.

[47:1]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Look they [are] in the land of Goshen.” Joseph draws attention to the fact of their presence in Goshen.

[50:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “this is heavy mourning for Egypt.”

[50:11]  ²⁰ tn The verb has no expressed subject and so it may be translated as passive.

[50:11]  ²¹ sn The name Abel Mizraim means “the mourning of Egypt.”
