Genesis 47:11

Context

47:11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory 5  in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses, 6  just as Pharaoh had commanded.

1 tn Heb “to take for himself from there a wife.”

2 tn The infinitive construct with the preposition and the suffix form a temporal clause.

3 tn Heb “you must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”

4 tn The words “to say” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

5 tn Heb “a possession,” or “a holding.” Joseph gave them a plot of land with rights of ownership in the land of Goshen.

6 sn The land of Rameses is another designation for the region of Goshen. It is named Rameses because of a city in that region (Exod 1:11; 12:37). The use of this name may represent a modernization of the text for the understanding of the intended readers, substituting a later name for an earlier one. Alternatively, there may have been an earlier Rameses for which the region was named.
