Genesis 42:12

[42:24]  ¹ tn Heb “and he turned to them and spoke to them.”

[42:24]  ² tn Heb “took Simeon.” This was probably done at Joseph’s command, however; the grand vizier of Egypt would not have personally seized a prisoner.

[42:24]  ³ tn Heb “and he bound him.” See the note on the preceding verb “taken.”

[42:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he said, ‘No, for the nakedness of the land you have come to see.’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for clarity.
