Genesis 7:12

7:12 And the rain fell ¹  on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Genesis 49:19

49:19 Gad will be raided by marauding bands,

but he will attack them at their heels. ² 

Genesis 50:1

The Burials of Jacob and Joseph

50:1 Then Joseph hugged his father’s face. ³  He wept over him and kissed him.

[7:12]  ¹ tn Heb “was.”

[49:19]  ² tc Heb “heel.” The MT has suffered from misdivision at this point. The initial mem on the first word in the next verse should probably be taken as a plural ending on the word “heel.”

[50:1]  ³ tn Heb “fell on.” The expression describes Joseph’s unrestrained sorrow over Jacob’s death; he probably threw himself across the body and embraced his father.
