Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

41:1-46 God had used two dreams to identify Joseph as a leader among his brothers (37:5-11). He used two dreams to test Joseph’s faith in prison (40:5-14). Now he would use two dreams to elevate Joseph from prison to preeminence. Joseph had repeatedly proven faithful in small matters; now he would be put in charge of great things.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֔ף
and=he/it_said Parˊoh to/towards Yōşēf/(Joseph)
Alternate translation: [Then Pharaoh told him]
וּפֹתֵ֖ר אֵ֣ין אֹת֑וֹ
and,interpret not DOM=him/it
See how you translated a similar clause in Gen 40:8.
וַאֲנִ֗י שָׁמַ֤עְתִּי עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר
and,I I_heard of,you to=say
Alternate translation: [But I was told]
תִּשְׁמַ֥ע חֲל֖וֹם לִפְתֹּ֥ר אֹתֽוֹ
hear (a)_dream to,interpret DOM=him/it
Consider again how you translated interpret and “interpreter” throughout the book of Genesis. See Gen 40:8, 16, 22; 41:8, 12, 13, 15, 16. Alternate translation: [that when you hear a dream, you are able to interpret what it means] or [that when someone tells you a dream, you are able to interpret its meaning]
