well with,servant,your with,father,our still,he living_(creature)
The brothers refer to their father as your servant here to show respect to Joseph and to acknowledge his high position. Translate this phrase in a polite way that shows respect toward Joseph. Also, the pronoun our is exclusive here because Joseph’s brothers did not yet know that they were talking to Joseph. Alternate translation: “Yes sir, our father, who highly respects you, is still alive and blessed.”
וַֽיִּקְּד֖וּ
and,bowed_~_heads
In this verse, the terms bowed and bowed down translate two different Hebrew words that together describe and emphasize the process of bowing down to the ground. Alternate translation: “Then they knelt”
