Footnotes
- 48 The disjunctive clause provides supplemental information that is important to the story.
- 49 “was listening.” The brothers were not aware that Joseph could understand them as they spoke the preceding words in their native language.
- 50 Heb “for [there was] an interpreter between them.” On the meaning of the word here translated “interpreter” see מֵלִיץ and M. A. Canney, “The Hebrew melis (Prov IX 12; Gen XLII 2–3),” 40 (1923/24): 135–37.
