Genesis 42:30

42:30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly to us and treated us ¹  as if we were ²  spying on the land.

Genesis 44:9

44:9 If one of us has it, ³  he will die, and the rest of us will become my lord’s slaves!”

¹ tn Heb “made us.”

² tn The words “if we were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “The one with whom it is found from your servants.” Here “your servants” (a deferential way of referring to the brothers themselves) has been translated by the pronoun “us” to avoid confusion with Joseph’s servants.
