Kejadian 41:47

41:47 During the seven years of abundance the land produced large, bountiful harvests. ⁹ 

[18:19]  ¹ tn Heb “For I have known him.” The verb יָדַע (yada’) here means “to recognize and treat in a special manner, to choose” (see Amos 3:2). It indicates that Abraham stood in a special covenantal relationship with the Lord.

[18:19]  ² tn Heb “and they will keep.” The perfect verbal form with vav consecutive carries on the subjective nuance of the preceding imperfect verbal form (translated “so that he may command”).

[18:19]  ³ tn The infinitive construct here indicates manner, explaining how Abraham’s children and his household will keep the way of the Lord.

[18:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “bring on.” The infinitive after לְמַעַן (lÿma’an) indicates result here.

[18:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “spoke to.”

[25:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “And her days were filled to give birth.”

[25:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “look!” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the audience to view the scene as if they were actually present at the birth.

[41:37]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the matter was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.”

[41:47]  ⁹ tn Heb “brought forth by handfuls.”
