[28:15]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, I [am] with you.” The clause is a nominal clause; the verb to be supplied could be present (as in the translation) or future, “Look, I [will be] with you” (cf. NEB).

[42:25]  ² tn Heb “and they filled.” The clause appears to be elliptical; one expects “Joseph gave orders to fill…and they filled.” See GKC 386 §120.f.

[42:25]  ³ tn Heb “and he did for them so.” Joseph would appear to be the subject of the singular verb. If the text is retained, the statement seems to be a summary of the preceding, more detailed statement. However, some read the verb as plural, “and they did for them so.” In this case the statement indicates that Joseph’s subordinates carried out his orders. Another alternative is to read the singular verb as passive (with unspecified subject), “and this was done for them so” (cf. NEB, NIV, NRSV).

[42:33]  ⁴ tn The word “grain” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[43:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “in its weight.”

[43:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “brought it back in our hand.”

[49:29]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds “and he said to them,” which is not included in the translation because it is redundant in English.

[49:29]  ⁸ tn Heb “I am about to be gathered” The participle is used here to describe what is imminent.
