Genesis 45:23

Genesis 49:11

49:11 Binding his foal to the vine,

and his colt to the choicest vine,

he will wash ⁴  his garments in wine,

his robes in the blood of grapes.

¹ sn He did treat Abram well. The construction of the parenthetical disjunctive clause, beginning with the conjunction on the prepositional phrase, draws attention to the irony of the story. Abram wanted Sarai to lie “so that it would go well” with him. Though he lost Sarai to Pharaoh, it did go well for him – he received a lavish bride price. See also G. W. Coats, “Despoiling the Egyptians,” VT 18 (1968): 450-57.

² tn Heb “and there was to him.”

³ tn Heb “according to this.”

⁵ tn The perfect verbal form is used rhetorically, describing coming events as though they have already taken place.
