NASB | Genesis 43:14 and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 43:14 and may God Almighty grant you compassion and favor before the man, so that he will release to you your other brother [Simeon] and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children [Joseph, Simeon, and Benjamin], I am bereaved." |
Bible Question (short): no imtimacy? |
Question (full): "...your other brother..." This expression sounds odd to me. Israel (Jacob) seemed unloving to Simeon. He did not address his name. The translation of my Chinese Bible even convey a sense of distance (no intimacy) like "that brother of yours". [This is just like when I had a fight with my husband about our daughter, I would say "your daughter..."...:-)] Was it because he (Jacob) was still angry with his sons for the lost of Joseph? Thanks for your input. Shalom Azure |
