Genesis 24:23

24:23 “Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

Genesis 43:30

43:30 Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome by affection for his brother and was at the point of tears. So he went to his room and wept there.


tn Heb “and he said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’” The order of the introductory clause has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “for his affection boiled up concerning his brother.” The same expression is used in 1 Kgs 3:26 for the mother’s feelings for her endangered child.

tn Heb “and he sought to weep.”
