Luke 2:19

2:19 But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean. ¹ 

Genesis 37:11

37:11 His brothers were jealous ²  of him, but his father kept in mind what Joseph said. ³ 

Daniel 7:28

7:28 “This is the conclusion of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and the color drained from my face. ⁴  But I kept the matter to myself.” ⁵ 

[2:19]  ¹ tn The term συμβάλλουσα (sumballousa) suggests more than remembering. She is trying to put things together here (Josephus, Ant. 2.5.3 [2.72]). The words “what they might mean” have been supplied in the translation to make this clear. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[37:11]  ² sn Joseph’s brothers were already jealous of him, but this made it even worse. Such jealousy easily leads to action, as the next episode in the story shows. Yet dreams were considered a form of revelation, and their jealousy was not only of the favoritism of their father, but of the dreams. This is why Jacob kept the matter in mind.

[37:11]  ³ tn Heb “kept the word.” The referent of the Hebrew term “word” has been specified as “what Joseph said” in the translation for clarity, and the words “in mind” have been supplied for stylistic reasons.

[7:28]  ⁴ tn Aram “my brightness was changing on me.”

[7:28]  ⁵ tn Aram “in my heart.”
