26:30 So Isaac 1 held a feast for them and they celebrated. 2
When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me leave now so I can return to my master.” 4
1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “and they ate and drank.”
3 tn Heb “And they ate and drank, he and the men who [were] with him and they spent the night.”
4 tn Heb “Send me away to my master.”
5 tn Heb “and he lifted up portions from before his face to them.”
6 tn Heb “and they drank and were intoxicated with him” (cf. NIV “drank freely with him”; NEB “grew merry”; NRSV “were merry”). The brothers were apparently relaxed and set at ease, despite Joseph’s obvious favoritism toward Benjamin.
