Footnotes

  1. Genesis 47:21 tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Genesis 47:21 tc The MT reads “and the people he removed to the cities,” which does not make a lot of sense in this context. Smr and the LXX read “he enslaved them as slaves.”
