Footnotes

  1. 54 Heb “and they filled.” The clause appears to be elliptical; one expects “Joseph gave orders to fill … and they filled.” See §120.f.
  2. 55 Heb “and he did for them so.” Joseph would appear to be the subject of the singular verb. If the text is retained, the statement seems to be a summary of the preceding, more detailed statement. However, some read the verb as plural, “and they did for them so.” In this case the statement indicates that Joseph’s subordinates carried out his orders. Another alternative is to read the singular verb as passive (with unspecified subject), “and this was done for them so” (cf. , , ).
