And he told H5608 (PielImpf) it to his father, H1 and to his brethren: H251 and his father H1 rebuked H1605 (QalImpf) him, and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, What is this dream H2472 that thou hast dreamed? H2492 (QalPerf) Shall I and thy mother H517 and thy brethren H251 indeed H935 (QalInf) come H935 (QalImpf) to bow down H7812 (HithInf) ourselves to thee to the earth? H776

και επετιμησεν αυτω ο πατηρ αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι το ενυπνιον τουτο ο ενυπνιασθης αρα γε ελθοντες ελευσομεθα εγω τε και η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου προσκυνησαι σοι επι την γην

His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

And his brethren H251 envied H7065 (PielImpf) him; but his father H1 observed H8104 (QalPerf) the saying. H1697

He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”

And he returned H7725 (QalImpf) unto his brethren, H251 and said, H559 (QalImpf) The child H3206 is not; and I, whither H575 shall I go? H935 (QalActPtc)

και ανεστρεψεν προς τους αδελφους αυτου και ειπεν το παιδαριον ουκ εστιν εγω δε που πορευομαι ετι

At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

And it came to pass at that time, H6256 that Judah H3063 went down H3381 (QalImpf) from his brethren, H251 and turned H5186 (QalImpf) in to a certain H376 Adullamite, H5726 whose name H8034 was Hirah. H2437

εγενετο δε εν τω καιρω εκεινω κατεβη ιουδας απο των αδελφων αυτου και αφικετο εως προς ανθρωπον τινα οδολλαμιτην ω ονομα ιρας

Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”

And Judah H3063 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Onan, H209 Go in H935 (QalImpv) unto thy brother’s H251 wife, H802 and marry H2992 (PielImpv) her, and raise up H6965 (HiphImpv) seed H2233 to thy brother. H251

ειπεν δε ιουδας τω αυναν εισελθε προς την γυναικα του αδελφου σου και γαμβρευσαι αυτην και αναστησον σπερμα τω αδελφω σου

Onan knew that the offspring wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.

And Onan H209 knew H3045 (QalImpf) that the seed H2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, when H518 he went in H935 (QalActPtc) unto his brother’s H251 wife, H802 that he spilled H7843 (PielPerf) it on the ground, H776 lest H1115 that he should give H5414 (QalInf) seed H2233 to his brother. H251

γνους δε αυναν οτι ουκ αυτω εσται το σπερμα εγινετο οταν εισηρχετο προς την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου εξεχεεν επι την γην του μη δουναι σπερμα τω αδελφω αυτου

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father’s house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;” for he said, “Lest he also die, like his brothers.” Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) Judah H3063 to Tamar H8559 his daughter in law, H3618 Remain H3427 (QalImpv) a widow H490 at thy father’s H1 house, H1004 till Shelah H7956 my son H1121 be grown: H1431 (QalImpf) for he said, H559 (QalPerf) Lest peradventure he die H4191 (QalImpf) also, as his brethren H251 did. And Tamar H8559 went H3212 (QalImpf) and dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in her father’s H1 house. H1004

ειπεν δε ιουδας θαμαρ τη νυμφη αυτου καθου χηρα εν τω οικω του πατρος σου εως μεγας γενηται σηλωμ ο υιος μου ειπεν γαρ μηποτε αποθανη και ουτος ωσπερ οι αδελφοι αυτου απελθουσα δε θαμαρ εκαθητο εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτης

As he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out, and she said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” Therefore his name was called Perez.°

Genesis 38:29 Perez means “breaking out”.

And it came to pass, as he drew back H7725 (HiphPtc) his hand, H3027 that, behold, his brother H251 came out: H3318 (QalPerf) and she said, H559 (QalImpf) How hast thou broken forth?^§ H6555 (QalPerf) this breach H6556 be upon thee: therefore his name H8034 was called H7121 (QalImpf) Pharez.° H6557

Genesis 38:29a Or, wherefor has thou made this branch against thee?
Genesis 38:29b That is, a breach

ως δε επισυνηγαγεν την χειρα και ευθυς εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου η δε ειπεν τι διεκοπη δια σε φραγμος και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου φαρες

Afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.°

Genesis 38:30 Zerah means “scarlet” or “brightness”.

And afterward H310 came out H3318 (QalPerf) his brother, H251 that had the scarlet thread H8144 upon his hand: H3027 and his name H8034 was called H7121 (QalImpf) Zarah. H2226

και μετα τουτο εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου εφ ω ην επι τη χειρι αυτου το κοκκινον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ζαρα

Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

And Joseph’s H3130 ten H6235 brethren H251 went down H3381 (QalImpf) to buy H7666 (QalInf) corn H1250 in Egypt. H4714

κατεβησαν δε οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ οι δεκα πριασθαι σιτον εξ αιγυπτου

But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”

But Benjamin, H1144 Joseph’s H3130 brother, H251 Jacob H3290 sent H7971 (QalPerf) not with his brethren; H251 for he said, H559 (QalPerf) Lest peradventure H6435 mischief H611 befall him. H7122 (QalImpf)

τον δε βενιαμιν τον αδελφον ιωσηφ ουκ απεστειλεν μετα των αδελφων αυτου ειπεν γαρ μηποτε συμβη αυτω μαλακια

Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.

And Joseph H3130 was the governor H7989 over the land, H776 and he it was that sold H7666 (HiphPtc) to all the people H5971 of the land: H776 and Joseph’s H3130 brethren H251 came, H935 (QalImpf) and bowed down H7812 (HithImpf) themselves before him with their faces H639 to the earth. H776

ιωσηφ δε ην αρχων της γης ουτος επωλει παντι τω λαω της γης ελθοντες δε οι αδελφοι ιωσηφ προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι προσωπον επι την γην

Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”

And Joseph H3130 saw H7200 (QalImpf) his brethren, H251 and he knew H5234 (HiphImpf) them, but made himself strange H5234 (HithImpf) unto them, and spake H1696 (PielImpf) roughly H7186 unto them;^§ and he said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Whence H370 come H935 (QalPerf) ye? And they said, H559 (QalImpf) From the land H776 of Canaan H3667 to buy H7666 (QalInf) food. H400

Genesis 42:7 Heb. hard things with them

ιδων δε ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου επεγνω και ηλλοτριουτο απ αυτων και ελαλησεν αυτοις σκληρα και ειπεν αυτοις ποθεν ηκατε οι δε ειπαν εκ γης χανααν αγορασαι βρωματα

Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him.

And Joseph H3130 knew H5234 (HiphImpf) his brethren, H251 but they knew H5234 (HiphPerf) not him.

επεγνω δε ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου αυτοι δε ουκ επεγνωσαν αυτον
