NET Notes

¹tn The imperfect here has an injunctive force.

²tn After the injunctive imperfect, this imperfect with vav indicates purpose or result.

³tn The Niphal form of the verb has the sense of “to be faithful; to be sure; to be reliable.” Joseph will test his brothers to see if their words are true.

⁴tn Heb “and they did so.”
