NETBible

They got their gifts ready for Joseph’s arrival¹ at noon, for they had heard² that they were to have a meal³ there.

NET Notes

¹tn The construction uses the infinitive construct after the preposition, followed by the subjective genitive.

²tn The action precedes the action of preparing the gift, and so must be translated as past perfect.

³tn Heb “eat bread.” The imperfect verbal form is used here as a historic future (future from the perspective of the past).
