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 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.

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
לֹ֣א אֲדֹנִ֑י
not my=master
Make sure your translation of this phrase sounds polite. In some cultures it is rude to say No too directly. See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 23:11. Alternate translation: “No, sir,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
וַעֲבָדֶ֥יךָ בָּ֖אוּ
and,servants,your they_went
The brothers referred to themselves as your servants to show respect to Joseph and to acknowledge his high position. Translate this phrase in a polite way that shows respect toward Joseph. Alternate translation: “but rather we come before you humbly” or “Rather, we are just humble men who have come here”

to,buy food
Alternate translation: “only to buy some food”
