TSNTyndale Study Notes:

43:1-7 As the famine continued, Jacob’s family needed more grain, but they could not return to Egypt without Benjamin (42:16, 20). Jacob realized that he was in a bind; he needed more food but was loath to lose Benjamin.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י

and=he/it_was

This phrase introduces an important event and helps create suspense so that readers will wonder what the outcome will be. Many translations omit it happened because it is not natural in their language. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “So it happened that”

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר כִּלּוּ֙

just=as finished

Consider whether it is clearer in your language to use a pronoun or a noun phrase here. Alternate translation: “when Jacob and his family had finished eating” or “… had used up”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אֶת הַ⁠שֶּׁ֔בֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵבִ֖יאוּ

DOM the,grain which/who brought

The pronoun they refers here to Jacob’s sons, not Jacob’s family (as it did earlier in this sentence). Alternate translation: “all the grain that his sons had bought and brought home”

וַ⁠יֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵי⁠הֶם֙ אֲבִי⁠הֶ֔ם

and=he/it_said to,them father,their

Alternate translation: “their father Jacob told them,” or “he told them,”

שִׁבְרוּ & מְעַט אֹֽכֶל

buy & a_little food

Alternate translation: “and buy some more food”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

לָ֥⁠נוּ

to/for=us

The pronoun us includes Jacob and his sons and their families here. Alternate translation: “for our family.”
