Genesis 27:33
Context27:33 Isaac began to shake violently 1 and asked, “Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. 2 He will indeed be blessed!”
Genesis 30:30
Context30:30 Indeed, 3 you had little before I arrived, 4 but now your possessions have increased many times over. 5 The Lord has blessed you wherever I worked. 6 But now, how long must it be before I do something for my own family too?” 7
Genesis 47:1
Context47:1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of
Canaan. They are now 8 in the land of Goshen.”
1 tn Heb “and Isaac trembled with a great trembling to excess.” The verb “trembled” is joined with a cognate accusative, which is modified by an adjective “great,” and a prepositional phrase “to excess.” All of this is emphatic, showing the violence of Isaac’s reaction to the news.
2 tn Heb “Who then is he who hunted game and brought [it] to me so that I ate from all before you arrived and blessed him?”
3 tn Or “for.”
4 tn Heb “before me.”
5 tn Heb “and it has broken out with respect to abundance.”
6 tn Heb “at my foot.”
7 tn Heb “How long [until] I do, also I, for my house?”
8 tn Heb “Look they [are] in the land of Goshen.” Joseph draws attention to the fact of their presence in Goshen.
