Context — The Return to Egyptgenerated

20“Please, sir,” they said, “we really did come down here the first time to buy food.
21But when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.
22We have brought additional silver with us to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23“It is fine,” said the steward. “Do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, gave you the treasure that was in your sacks. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

Genesis 43:21 describes the moment when Joseph's brothers discover their silver in their sacks after lodging for the night. This event is crucial as it leads to their realization of a divine intervention and sets the stage for their return to Egypt with additional provisions. Their experience highlights themes of trust and the unfolding of God's plan through their circumstances.

The Key Word אֲמַתְּחֹתֵינוּ, amtecho.teinugenerated

The word אֲמַתְּחֹתֵינוּ (amtecho.teinu) is the plural form of אַמְתַּחַת (amtachath), meaning 'sack' or 'bag'. It denotes a flexible container used for carrying items, particularly grain. The parsing indicates it is a feminine plural noun with a possessive suffix, emphasizing that these sacks belong to the brothers.

In this context, the use of אֲמַתְּחֹתֵינוּ underscores the brothers' predicament as they uncover their bags and find their silver, which adds to the tension of the narrative. The term is significant as it relates to their journey and the unfolding events surrounding their interactions with Joseph.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb is וַֽיְהִ֞י, and it was, which governs the entire verse. The sentence structure is complex, with multiple clauses detailing the actions of the brothers as they recount their experience.

The first clause introduces the situation, followed by a series of actions: they came to the lodging place, opened their sacks, and discovered their silver. The structure emphasizes the sequence of events and the brothers' reactions.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates אֲמַתְּחֹתֵינוּ as ἡμῶν, indicating possession and aligning with the narrative's focus on the brothers' experience with their bags.

This choice reflects a straightforward rendering, preserving the sense of ownership while adapting to the Greek language's structure.

(21) The inn.—The lodging-place. (See Note on Genesis 42:27.) Our sacks.—Heb., our travelling or forage bags. It is the word used at the end of Gen 42:27. So immediately afterwards the silver was found “in the mouth of the travelling-bag.” And so again in Genesis 43:22-23. This is accurate, as the silver was placed in the private bag of each one, and not in the corn sacks; but as we have seen in Genesis 42:27; Genesis 42:35, only one of them found his money at the lodging-place. This, however, was a matter of no importance, while it was necessary to show that they were a full day’s journey on the route homewards before the mistake was discovered.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
