1 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 sn From their hands. The instigators of this plot may have been the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah (see v. 2).
3 tn Heb “and he said.”
4 tn Heb “we must not strike him down [with respect to] life.”
5 tn Heb “that I raised.”
6 tn Heb “and when his master heard the words of his wife which she spoke to him, saying.”
7 tn Heb “according to these words.”
8 tn Heb “did to me.”
9 tn Heb “his anger burned.”
10 tn Heb “saw.”
11 tn Heb “Jacob.” Here the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
