OET interlinear GEN 50:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּפֹּ֥ל יוֹסֵ֖ף עַל־פְּנֵ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_fell Yōşēf/(Joseph) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of his/its=father and,he_wept on/upon/above=him/it and,he_kissed to=him/it )

Make sure that your translation of this phrase, fell on the face of does not imply that Joseph fell accidently. Rather, he intentionally threw himself on his father to embrace him and express his love for him and his grief. See how you translated a similar phrase in Genesis [46:29](../46/29.md). Alternate translation: [Immediately, Joseph sorrowfully embraced]

וַ⁠יֵּ֥בְךְּ עָלָ֖י⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_fell Yōşēf/(Joseph) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of his/its=father and,he_wept on/upon/above=him/it and,he_kissed to=him/it )

For some languages it may be better to put this clause earlier and say, “Then Joseph cried in his sorrow/grief, and he hugged his father tightly and kissed him.”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_fell Yōşēf/(Joseph) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of his/its=father and,he_wept on/upon/above=him/it and,he_kissed to=him/it )

Consider again how you translated kissed in the book of Genesis. See [27:26–27](../27/26.md); [29:11](../29/11.md), [13](../29/13.md); [31:28](../31/28.md), [55](../31/55.md); [33:4](../33/04.md); [45:15](../45/15.md); [48:10](../48/10.md); [50:1](../50/01.md). Alternate translation: [and kissed him goodbye on the forehead]
