17:23 Abraham took his son Ishmael and every male in his household (whether born in his house or bought with money) 1 and circumcised them 2 on that very same day, just as God had told him to do.
38:11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until Shelah my son grows up.” For he thought, 3 “I don’t want him to die like his brothers.” 4 So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
1 tn Heb “Ishmael his son and all born in his house and all bought with money, every male among the men of the house of Abraham.”
2 tn Heb “circumcised the flesh of their foreskin.” The Hebrew expression is somewhat pleonastic and has been simplified in the translation.
3 tn Heb “said.”
4 tn Heb “Otherwise he will die, also he, like his brothers.”
5 tn Heb “all which they were doing there, he was doing.” This probably means that Joseph was in charge of everything that went on in the prison.
7 tn Heb “tell Pharaoh and say to him.”
