Genesis 41:38

41:38 So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find a man like Joseph, ⁵  one in whom the Spirit of God is present?” ⁶ 

Genesis 44:9

[2:11]  ¹ tn Heb “it is that which goes around.”

[15:3]  ² tn Heb “And Abram said.”

[15:3]  ³ tn The construction uses הֵן (hen) to introduce the foundational clause (“since…”), and וְהִנֵּה (vÿhinneh) to introduce the main clause (“then look…”).

[15:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “is inheriting me.”

[41:38]  ³ tn Heb “like this,” but the referent could be misunderstood to be a man like that described by Joseph in v. 33, rather than Joseph himself. For this reason the proper name “Joseph” has been supplied in the translation.

[41:38]  ⁴ tn The rhetorical question expects the answer “No, of course not!”

[44:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “The one with whom it is found from your servants.” Here “your servants” (a deferential way of referring to the brothers themselves) has been translated by the pronoun “us” to avoid confusion with Joseph’s servants.
