NETBible

Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see you again, but now God has allowed me to see your children too.”

NET Notes

tn On the meaning of the Hebrew verb פָּלַל (palal) here, see E. A. Speiser, “The Stem pll in Hebrew,” JBL 82 (1963): 301-6. Speiser argues that this verb means “to estimate” as in Exod 21:22.

tn Heb “your face.”

tn Heb “offspring.”
