1 tn Heb “and he said.”
2 tn Heb “know.”
3 tn The word “here” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
4 tn Heb “hand.” This is a metonymy for being under the control or care of Joseph.
5 tn The verse begins with the temporal indicator, followed by the infinitive construct with the preposition כְּ (kÿ). This clause could therefore be taken as temporal.
