Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

50.1 Quod cernens Joseph, ruittransierunt quadraginta dies. STRAB. Qui numerus pœnitentiæ et humilitati convenit. Unde in lege et in Evangelio a prophetis et ab ipso Domino observatus est. AUG. Quadraginta dies sepulturæ, quos memorat Scriptura, forte pœnitentiam significant, qua sepeliuntur peccata. Non enim frustra quadraginta dies jejuniorum sunt constituti, quibus Moyses, et Elias, et ipse Dominus jejunavit, et Ecclesia præcipuam observationem jejuniorum Quadragesimam vocat. Unde et apud Jonam de Ninivitis scriptum est: Adhuc quadraginta dies, et Ninive subvertetur Jon. 3, ut per tot dies, accommodatos scilicet humiliationi pœnitentium, intelligantur in jejuniis sua flevisse peccata, et impetrasse misericordiam. Nec tantum luctui pœnitentium hic numerus convenit. Quadraginta enim dies post resurrectionem fuit Dominus cum discipulis suis intrans et exiens, manducans et bibens, qui dies lætitiæ fuerunt. Nec septuaginta Interpretes errasse credendi sunt qui dixerunt: Triduum, et Ninive subvertetur: majore enim auctoritate præditi quam interpretum officium est, prophetico spiritu quo etiam ore uno in suis interpretationibus, quod magnum miraculum fuit, consonuisse firmantur triduum, posuerunt, quamvis non ignorarent quod quadraginta dies in Hebræo legerentur; ut in Christi clarificatione intelligerentur dissolvi et aboleri peccata, qui traditus est propter delicta nostra, et resurrexit propter justificationem nostram. Clarificatio autem Domini in resurrectione et ascensione cognoscitur. Unde hic quamvis unum et eumdem spiritum dedit: primo postquam resurrexit, secundo postquam ascendit; et quia post triduum resurrexit, post quadraginta autem dies ascendit: unum horum, quod posterius factum est, per numerum quadraginta dierum Hebræi significant; alterum vero de triduo, quod ad eamdem rem pertinet, Septuaginta memorant, non interpretationis servitute, sed prophetiæ auctoritate. Non ergo dicamus unum horum falsum esse, et pro aliis interpretibus contra alios litigemus; cum illi qui ex Hebræo interpretantur, probent scriptum esse quod interpretantur; et Septuaginta auctoritas, quæ tanto divinitus facto miraculo commendatur, tanta in Ecclesiis vetustate firmetur. Septuaginta diebus. STRAB. Ethnici novem diebus mortuos suos flebant. Unde et novendialis nona dies vocabatur, quando sepeliebantur. Dei cultores septem diebus exsequias celebrabant. Unde Eccli. 22: Luctus mortui septem dies: luctus autem fatui omne tempus vitæ ejus. Septenarius enim requiem significat. Unde septima dies sabbatum, id est requies dicitur. Celebrant ergo septimam diem mortuorum, optantes illos cum Domino requiescere a laboribus præsentis vitæ. Hinc ergo dicitur: Flevit eum Ægyptus septuaginta diebus, qui est decuplatus septenarius. Septies enim deni, septuaginta sunt. Potest etiam dici quia sicut tertia dies mortui agitur a fidelibus, ut anima, quæ est triplicis naturæ, requiescat; ita septimus dies celebratur, ut anima corpori reconcilietur, quæ carne illiciente peccavit. In septenario etiam tria sunt et quatuor; ternarius pertinet ad animam, quæ irascibilis, et concupiscibilis, et rationalis est; quaternarius ad corpus, qui quatuor constat elementis.


50.1 That discerning Yoseph, rushestransierunt forty days. STRAB. Who number of_repentance and humility agreed. From_where/who in/into/on lawfully and in/into/on Gospel from prophets and away himself Master observed it_is. AUG. Forty days burials, which mentions Scripture/Writing, perhaps repentance significant, which they_are_buried sins. Not/No because in_vain forty days I_fastrum are established, to_whom Moses, and Elias, and exactly_that/himself Master fasted, and Assembly/Church particular observation I_fastrum Fortiethth he_calls. From_where/who and at Yonah from/about Ninevites written it_is: Still forty days, and Nineveh will_be_overthrown Yon. 3, as through so_many days, adapted namely humiliation penitents, be_understood in/into/on periods_of_fasting his_own to_have_cried sins, and to_have_obtained mercy. Neither only mourning penitents this/here number agreed. Forty because days after resurrection it_was Master when/with students to_his_own entering and going_out, eating and drinking, who/which days of_happiness they_were. Neither seventy Interpreters to_have_erred to_be_believed are who/which they_said: Three_days, and Nineveh will_be_overthrown: more because authority gifted how interpreter office it_is, prophetic in_spirit where also vocally one in/into/on to_his_own interpretations, that magnum miracle it_was, to_have_sounded_together they_are_strengthened three_days, they_put, although/however not/no they_would_be_ignorant_of that forty days in/into/on Hebrew they_would_be_read; as in/into/on of_Christ glorification they_would_be_understood to_dissolve and to_be_abolished sins, who/which handed_over it_is because offences our, and rose_again because justification ours. Glorification however Master in/into/on resurrection and ascent is_known. From_where/who this/here although/however one and the_same spirit he_gave: at_first after rose_again, secondly after went_up; and because after three_days rose_again, after forty however days went_up: one of_these, that more_finally done it_is, through the_number forty days Hebrews significant; the_other indeed/however from/about three_days, that to the_same thing belongs, Seventy they_mention, not/no interpretation servitude, but prophecies authority. Not/No therefore let’s_say one of_these false/error to_be, and for to_others interpreters on_the_contrary others we_may_quarrel; when/with them who/which from Hebrew they_interpret, they_may_prove written to_be that they_interpret; and Seventy authority, which so_much divinely done miracle recommended, such_a_great_deal in/into/on Assemblies/churches old_age be_strengthened. Seventy days. STRAB. Pagans nine days the_dead his_own they_were_crying. From_where/who and lasting_nine_days ninth days was_called, when they_were_buried. of_God worshippers seven days funeral_processions they_were_celebrating. From_where/who Ecclesiasticus. 22: Mourning dead seven days: mourning however stupid everything time/season of_life his/her. Sevenfold because rest/repose means. From_where/who seventh days sabbath, that it_is rest/repose it_is_said. Celebrant therefore seven day of_the_dead, they_wishes those when/with Master to_rest from labours presents of_life. Hence therefore it_is_said: Cried him Egypt seventy days, who/which it_is tenfold sevenfold. Seven_times because ten_each, seventy are. Can also to_be_said because like third days dead is_being_done from to_the_faithful, as soul, which it_is threefold of_nature, rest(v); so/thus the_seventh days is_celebrated, as the_soul to_the_body may_be_reconciled, which flesh/meat alluring he_sinned. In seven_times also three are and four; threefold belongs to the_soul, which irascible, and desirable, and rational it_is; quaternary/fourth/square to body, who/which four it_is_agreed/certain elements.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּפֹּ֥ל יוֹסֵ֖ף עַל־פְּנֵ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_fell Yōşēf/(Joseph) on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of his/its=father and,he_wept on/upon/above=him/it and,he_kissed to=him/it )

Make sure that your translation of this phrase, fell on the face of does not imply that Joseph fell accidently. Rather, he intentionally threw himself on his father to embrace him and express his love for him and his grief. See how you translated a similar phrase in Genesis [46:29](../46/29.md). Alternate translation: [Immediately, Joseph sorrowfully embraced]

For some languages it may be better to put this clause earlier and say, “Then Joseph cried in his sorrow/grief, and he hugged his father tightly and kissed him.”

Consider again how you translated kissed in the book of Genesis. See [27:26–27](../27/26.md); [29:11](../29/11.md), [13](../29/13.md); [31:28](../31/28.md), [55](../31/55.md); [33:4](../33/04.md); [45:15](../45/15.md); [48:10](../48/10.md); [50:1](../50/01.md). Alternate translation: [and kissed him goodbye on the forehead]
