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.

Joseph uses King Pharaoh’s name here to make an oath that emphasizes the certainty of what he says next. Make sure that the way he refers to Pharaoh sounds respectful in your translation. See how you translated other vows in Gen 14:22 and 21:23-24. Alternate translation: “As certain as King Pharaoh lives, I vow that”

אִם תֵּצְא֣וּ

if go

Alternate translation: “you will definitely not leave” or “I will not let you leave”

מִ⁠זֶּ֔ה

Alternate translation: “from here”

For some languages it may be better to change the wording of this sentence and say, “By the life of Pharaoh, the only way you will ever leave Egypt is if your youngest brother comes here.” or “By the life of Pharaoh, your youngest brother must come here, or else you will definitely not/never leave Egypt!” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “until your youngest brother comes here.” or “until I see that your youngest brother is here.”
