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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

44:1-34 The brothers appeared to have changed; they had shown remorse over what they had done to Joseph, and they showed integrity in returning the money and in bringing Benjamin. Given a chance to get rid of Rachel’s other son, Benjamin, would they do it?


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

וַ⁠יֹּ֛אמֶר עַבְדְּ⁠ךָ֥ אָבִ֖⁠י אֵלֵ֑י⁠נוּ

and=he/it_said servant_of,your father_of,my to,us

See how you translated your servant my father in verse 24. Also notice that the pronoun us does not include Joseph here. Some languages use an exclusive pronoun for this. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [Then my father who is your humble servant said to us] or [Then my father said to us]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

אַתֶּ֣ם יְדַעְתֶּ֔ם כִּ֥י

you_all know that/for/because/then/when

The pronoun “you” is plural here, referring to all the brothers. Alternate translation: [As you all know]

שְׁנַ֖יִם יָֽלְדָה־לִּ֥⁠י אִשְׁתִּֽ⁠י

two she/it_gave_birth to/for=me wife_of,my

Alternate translation: [my wife Rachel bore only two sons for me]
