12.15 Sublata est mulier. RAB. Excusatur Sarai, quæ in domum Pharaonis transfertur invita, non solum in hoc quod non inquinatur corpus nec anima nisi mentis consensu, sed etiam in hoc quod conveniente et permittente viro suo factum est. AUG. Quæst. in Gen. Apud Pharaonem tandiu potuit esse intacta, quia in Esther legitur quod puellæ non statim ad reges introducebantur, sed uno anno custodiebantur, et sex mensibus oleo myrrhino ungebantur, et aliis sex mensibus in diversis odoramentis erant. Potuit ergo per has inducias temporis intacta manere. Et interim bene usi sunt Abram Ægyptii, donec Pharao a Deo flagellatus, et cognoscens quod esset uxor ejus, redderet intactam.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וַ⁠יִּרְא֤וּ אֹתָ⁠הּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה

and=they_saw DOM=her/it officials_of Parˊoh's

The term officials is general and refers to leaders or rulers who were under Pharaoh and served him. Alternate translation: [Some of the officers who ruled under the Egyptian king spotted her] or [When some officials of Pharaoh the king of Egypt saw her]

Note 2 topic: translate-names

וַ⁠יִּרְא֤וּ אֹתָ⁠הּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה

and=they_saw DOM=her/it officials_of Parˊoh's

The term Pharaoh is an Egyptian title that refers to the king or ruler over Egypt. However, in the Old Testament, it is treated as a name (that frequently occurs with the title “king of Egypt”), so translators often transliterate Pharaoh (which is how other names in the Bible are normally treated). Some languages require an honorific title with the names of kings, for example, “King Pharaoh.” Decide how you will handle this in your translation. Alternate translation: [And the officials of King Pharaoh saw her]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יְהַֽלְל֥וּ אֹתָ֖⁠הּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה

and,praised DOM=her/it to/towards Parˊoh

Alternate translation: [so they told him how beautiful she was]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תֻּקַּ֥ח הָ⁠אִשָּׁ֖ה

and,taken the=woman

If your language does not use a passive form like was taken, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [and they brought the woman] or [So he had them bring Sarai]

בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹֽה

house_of Parˊoh's

Alternate translation: [into Pharoah's palace to become his wife]
