3. at it. Hebrew lo, which ASV, WEB interpret as “for him”.
3. for those are the days spent in embalming. Literally, “for so they fill the days of the embalmed”.
4. the house of Pharaoh. So reads the Hebrew, literally. WEB reads “Pharaoh’s staff”.
11. mourning. Hebrew ʾebel.
11. Egyptians. Hebrew miṣrayim, literally “Egypt”.
17. offense. Hebrew pešaʿ. ASV reads “transgression”, and WEB “disobedience”. The ASV’s rendering is preferable, as this word for an offense or transgression does imply wrongdoing, but does not necessarily imply that the brothers were disobedient to anyone in particular as they carried out their wrongful actions.
20. to bring about the current result. Literally, “in order to do as this day”.
