Genesis 42:2

Context
42:2 He then said, “Look, I hear that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy grain for us 1  so that we may live 2  and not die.” 3 

1 tn Heb “and buy for us from there.” The word “grain,” the direct object of “buy,” has been supplied for clarity, and the words “from there” have been omitted in the translation for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Following the imperatives, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav expresses purpose of result.

3 tn The imperfect tense continues the nuance of the verb before it.
