45:7 God sent me ¹  ahead of you to preserve you ²  on the earth and to save your lives ³  by a great deliverance.

Kejadian 45:1

The Reconciliation of the Brothers

45:1 Joseph was no longer able to control himself before all his attendants, ⁴  so he cried out, “Make everyone go out from my presence!” No one remained ⁵  with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

Kisah Para Rasul 17:6

17:6 When they did not find them, they dragged ⁶  Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, ⁷  screaming, “These people who have stirred up trouble ⁸  throughout the world ⁹  have come here too,

Mazmur 33:19

33:19 by saving their lives from death ¹⁰ 

and sustaining them during times of famine. ¹¹

10:3 The Lord satisfies ¹²  the appetite ¹³  of the righteous,

Yesaya 33:16

33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place; ¹⁶ 

he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; ¹⁷ 

he will have food

and a constant supply of water.

Habakuk 3:17

3:17 When ¹⁸  the fig tree does not bud,

and there are no grapes on the vines;

when the olive trees do not produce, ¹⁹ 

and the fields yield no crops; ²⁰ 

when the sheep disappear ²¹  from the pen,

and there are no cattle in the stalls,

[45:7]  ¹ sn God sent me. The repetition of this theme that God sent Joseph is reminiscent of commission narratives in which the leader could announce that God sent him (e.g., Exod 3:15).

[45:7]  ² tn Heb “to make you a remnant.” The verb, followed here by the preposition לְ (lÿ), means “to make.”

[45:7]  ³ tn The infinitive gives a second purpose for God’s action.

[45:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the ones standing beside him.”

[45:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “stood.”

[17:6]  ⁶ tn See BDAG 977-78 s.v. σύρω on this verb. It was used in everyday speech of dragging in fish by a net, or dragging away someone’s (presumably) dead body (Paul in Acts 14:19).

[17:6]  ⁷ tn L&N 37.93 defines πολιτάρχης (politarch") as “a public official responsible for administrative matters within a town or city and a member of the ruling council of such a political unit – ‘city official’” (see also BDAG 845 s.v.).

[17:6]  ⁸ tn Or “rebellion.” BDAG 72 s.v. ἀναστατόω has “disturb, trouble, upset,” but in light of the references in the following verse to political insurrection, “stirred up rebellion” would also be appropriate.

[17:6]  ⁹ tn Or “the empire.” This was a way of referring to the Roman empire (BDAG 699 s.v. οἰκουμένη 2.b).

[17:6]  sn Throughout the world. Note how some of those present had knowledge of what had happened elsewhere. Word about Paul and his companions and their message was spreading.

[33:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to save from death their live[s].”

[33:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and to keep them alive in famine.”

[10:3]  ¹² tn Heb “does not allow…to go hungry.” The expression “The Lord does not allow the appetite of the righteous to go hungry” is an example of tapeinosis – a figurative expression stated in the negative to emphasize the positive: The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous.

[10:3]  ¹³ tn The term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) means “soul” but its root meaning is “throat” and it has a broad range of meanings; here it denotes “appetite” (BDB 660 s.v. 5.a; see, e.g., Pss 63:6; 107:9; Prov 27:7; Isa 56:11; 58:10; Jer 50:19; Ezek 7:19). The term could denote “desire” (BDB 660 s.v. 6.a) which would include the inner urge for success. By contrast, the wicked live unfulfilled lives – as far as spiritual values are concerned.

[10:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “thrusts away” (cf. ASV, NASB); NLT “refuses to satisfy.” The verb הָדַף (hadaf) means “to thrust away; to push; to drive,” either to depose or reject (BDB 213 s.v.).

[10:3]  ¹⁵ tn This verse contrasts the “appetite” of the righteous with the “craving” of the wicked. This word הַוַּה (havvah, “craving”) means “desire” often in a bad sense, as ‘the desire of the wicked,” which could not be wholesome (Ps 52:9).

[33:16]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he [in the] exalted places will live.”

[33:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “mountain strongholds, cliffs [will be] his elevated place.”

[3:17]  ¹⁸ tn Or “though.”

[3:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the produce of the olive disappoints.”

[3:17]  ²⁰ tn Heb “food.”

[3:17]  ²¹ tn Or “are cut off.”
