Genesis 43:25

Context
43:25 They got their gifts ready for Joseph’s arrival 1  at noon, for they had heard 2  that they were to have a meal 3  there.

1 tn The construction uses the infinitive construct after the preposition, followed by the subjective genitive.

2 tn The action precedes the action of preparing the gift, and so must be translated as past perfect.

3 tn Heb “eat bread.” The imperfect verbal form is used here as a historic future (future from the perspective of the past).
