NET Notes

¹tn Heb “over the matter of.”

²tn Heb “in the beginning,” that is, at the end of their first visit.

³tn Heb “to roll himself upon us and to cause himself to fall upon us.” The infinitives here indicate the purpose (as viewed by the brothers) for their being brought to Joseph’s house.

⁴tn The word “take” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
