Genesis 44:3

Genesis 50:16

Context
50:16 So they sent word 7  to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave these instructions before he died:

1 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “and he took from that which was going into his hand,” meaning that he took some of what belonged to him.

3 sn The Hebrew noun translated gift can in some contexts refer to the tribute paid by a subject to his lord. Such a nuance is possible here, because Jacob refers to Esau as his lord and to himself as Esau’s servant (v. 4).

4 tn Heb “and he sent across what he had.”

5 tn Heb “the morning was light.”

6 tn Heb “and the men were sent off, they and their donkeys.” This clause, like the preceding one, has the subject before the verb, indicating synchronic action.

7 tn The verb means “command,” but they would hardly be commanding him. It probably means they sent their father’s instructions to Joseph.
