1 tn The word “stolen” is supplied in the translation for clarification.
2 tn The phrase “the rest of “ has been supplied in the translation for clarification.
3 tn Heb “and he put a journey of three days between himself and Jacob.”
sn Three days’ traveling distance from Jacob. E. A. Speiser observes, “Laban is delighted with the terms, and promptly proceeds to violate the spirit of the bargain by removing to a safe distance all the grown animals that would be likely to produce the specified spots” (Genesis [AB], 238). Laban apparently thought that by separating out the spotted, striped, and dark colored animals he could minimize the production of spotted, striped, or dark offspring that would then belong to Jacob.
4 tn The disjunctive clause (introduced by the vav with subject) is circumstantial/temporal; Laban removed the animals while Jacob was taking care of the rest.
5 tn Heb “bound in the house of your prison.”
6 tn The disjunctive clause is circumstantial-temporal.
7 tn Heb “[for] the hunger of your households.”
8 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.
9 tn Heb “Also now, according to your words, so it is.” As the next statement indicates, this does mean that he will do exactly as they say. He does agree with them the culprit should be punished, but not as harshly as they suggest. Furthermore, the innocent parties will not be punished.
10 tn Heb “The one with whom it is found will become my slave.”
11 tn The words “the rest of” have been supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
12 tn The Hebrew word נָקִי (naqi) means “acquitted,” that is, free of guilt and the responsibility for it.
sn The rest of you will be free. Joseph’s purpose was to single out Benjamin to see if the brothers would abandon him as they had abandoned Joseph. He wanted to see if they had changed.
13 tn Heb “lie down.” Here the expression “lie down” refers to death.
14 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
