41:8But there were ten men among them who said11 to Ishmael, “Do not kill us. For we will give you the stores of wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey we have hidden in a field.12 So he spared their lives and did not kill13 them along with the rest.14
Footnotes
- 11 Heb “But there were ten men found among them and they said.” However, for the use of “were found” = “be, happened to be” see 594 מָצָא 2.c and compare the usage in 41:3.
- 12 This sentence is a good example of the elliptical nature of some of the causal connections in the Hebrew Bible. All the Hebrew says literally is “For we have hidden stores of wheat, barley, olive oil, and honey in a field.” However, it is obvious that they are using this as their bargaining chip to prevent Ishmael and his men from killing them. For the use of “for” (כִּי, ki) for such elliptical thoughts see 473–74 כִּי 3.c.
- 13 Or “So he refrained from killing them”; Heb “he refrained and did not kill them.”
- 14 Heb “in the midst of their brothers/fellow countrymen.”
