Kejadian 41:48

41:48 Joseph ¹  collected all the excess food ²  in the land of Egypt during the seven years and stored it in the cities. ³  In every city he put the food gathered from the fields around it.

Kejadian 47:6

47:6 The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men ⁴  among them, put them in charge ⁵  of my livestock.”

[41:48]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[41:48]  ² tn Heb “all the food.”

[41:48]  ³ tn Heb “of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt and placed food in the cities.”

[47:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “men of skill.”

[47:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “make them rulers.”

[47:6]  sn Put them in charge of my livestock. Pharaoh is, in effect, offering Joseph’s brothers jobs as royal keepers of livestock, a position mentioned often in Egyptian inscriptions, because the Pharaohs owned huge herds of cattle.
