Kejadian 42:1

Joseph’s Brothers in Egypt

42:1 When Jacob heard ⁷  there was grain in Egypt, he ⁸  said to his sons, “Why are you looking at each other?” ⁹ 

[16:4]  ¹ tn Heb “entered to.” See the note on the same expression in v. 2.

[16:4]  ² tn Or “she conceived” (also in v. 5)

[16:4]  ³ tn Heb “and she saw that she was pregnant and her mistress was despised in her eyes.” The Hebrew verb קָלַל (qalal) means “to despise, to treat lightly, to treat with contempt.” In Hagar’s opinion Sarai had been demoted.

[18:27]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here and in vv. 30, 31, 32 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[18:27]  ⁵ tn The disjunctive clause is a concessive clause here, drawing out the humility as a contrast to the Lord.

[27:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, ‘Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, but I am a smooth [skinned] man.’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “saw.”

[42:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “Jacob.” Here the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[42:1]  ⁹ sn Why are you looking at each other? The point of Jacob’s question is that his sons should be going to get grain rather than sitting around doing nothing. Jacob, as the patriarch, still makes the decisions for the whole clan.
