TSNTyndale Study Notes:

45:1-15 In one of the most dramatic scenes of the book, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, bringing the process of reconciling with them to a climax (see also 50:14-21).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֤ה

and=see/lo/see!

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Joseph’s message to his father was completed in verse 11, and that here in verse 12 he is talking directly to his brothers again. Alternate translation: “Now look” or “Then Joseph said to his brothers, Look!”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עֵֽינֵי⁠כֶם֙

your_all's=eyes

The word eyes is used figuratively here (and in the next phrase) to refer to the persons themselves; it also emphasizes the fact that they were seeing Joseph in person. Consider what is the best way to translate this phrase in your language. Alternate translation: “I can tell that all of you,”

Note 2 topic: translate-kinship

וְ⁠עֵינֵ֖י אָחִ֣⁠י בִנְיָמִ֑ין

and,eyes my=brother/kindred Binyāmīn

See how you translated brother in Gen 43:29.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

רֹא֔וֹת & כִּי פִ֖⁠י

see & that/for/because/then/when mouth,I

Here the phrase my mouth refers to Joseph himself; it also emphasizes the fact that it was Joseph himself who was talking to them. Consider what is the best way to translate this figure of speech in your language. Alternate translation: “can see that I Joseph am the one”
