Footnotes

  1. 27 The question What is this dream that you had? expresses Jacob’s dismay at what he perceives to be Joseph’s audacity.
  2. 28 Heb “Coming, will we come, I and your mother and your brothers, to bow down to you to the ground?” The verb “come” is preceded by the infinitive absolute, which lends emphasis. It is as if Jacob said, “You don’t really think we will come … to bow down … do you?”
