NETBible

Pharaoh should do¹ this – he should appoint² officials³ throughout the land to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt⁴ during the seven years of abundance.

NET Notes

¹tn The imperfect verbal form has an obligatory nuance here. The Samaritan Pentateuch has a jussive form here, “and let [Pharaoh] do.”

²tn Heb “and let him appoint.” The jussive form expresses Joseph’s advice to Pharaoh.

³tn Heb “appointees.” The noun is a cognate accusative of the preceding verb. Since “appoint appointees” would be redundant in English, the term “officials” was used in the translation instead.

⁴tn Heb “and he shall collect a fifth of the land of Egypt.” The language is figurative (metonymy); it means what the land produces, i.e., the harvest.
