Kejadian 32:9

32:9 Then Jacob prayed, ⁶  “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O Lord, you said ⁷  to me, ‘Return to your land and to your relatives and I will make you prosper.’ ⁸ 

Kejadian 42:33

42:33 “Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain ⁹  for your hungry households and go.

45:18 Get your father and your households and come to me! Then I will give you ¹⁰  the best land in Egypt and you will eat ¹¹  the best ¹²  of the land.’

[30:30]  ¹ tn Or “for.”

[30:30]  ² tn Heb “before me.”

[30:30]  ³ tn Heb “and it has broken out with respect to abundance.”

[30:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “at my foot.”

[30:30]  ⁵ tn Heb “How long [until] I do, also I, for my house?”

[32:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “said.”

[32:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “the one who said.”

[32:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will cause good” or “I will treat well [or “favorably”].” The idea includes more than prosperity, though that is its essential meaning. Here the form is subordinated to the preceding imperative and indicates purpose or result. Jacob is reminding God of his promise in the hope that God will honor his word.

[42:33]  ⁹ tn The word “grain” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[45:18]  ¹⁰ tn After the imperatives in vv. 17-18a, the cohortative with vav indicates result.

[45:18]  ¹¹ tn After the cohortative the imperative with vav states the ultimate goal.

[45:18]  ¹² tn Heb “fat.”
