NETBible

Joseph 1  made all the people slaves 2  from one end of Egypt’s border to the other end of it.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tc The MT reads “and the people he removed to the cities,” which does not make a lot of sense in this context. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the LXX read “he enslaved them as slaves.”
