Footnotes

  1. 8 God sent me. The repetition of this theme that God sent Joseph is reminiscent of commission narratives in which the leader could announce that God sent him (e.g., Exod 3:15).
  2. 9 Heb “to make you a remnant.” The verb, followed here by the preposition לְ (lé), means “to make.”
  3. 10 The infinitive gives a second purpose for God’s action.
