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

² tn Heb “let it not be hot to the Lord.” This is an idiom which means “may the Lord not be angry.”

³ tn After the jussive, the cohortative indicates purpose/result.

⁷ tn Heb “a son of thirty years.”

⁸ tn Heb “when he stood before.”

⁹ tn Heb “went out from before.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and he passed through all the land of Egypt”; this phrase is interpreted by JPS to mean that Joseph “emerged in charge of the whole land.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “all the lives of his sons and his daughters, thirty-three.”

¹³ tn Heb “saw Ephraim, the children of the third.”
