Footnotes
- 69 Heb “and the matter was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.”
- 70 Heb “like this,” but the referent could be misunderstood to be a man like that described by Joseph in v. 33, rather than Joseph himself. For this reason the proper name “Joseph” has been supplied in the translation.
- 71 The rhetorical question expects the answer “No, of course not!”
- 72 Heb “as discerning and wise.” The order has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
