## translationNotes

* **lay our hands on him** - "hurt him"
* **he is our brother, our flesh** - These phrases mean basically the same thing. Judah emphasizes the family relationship between Joseph and the other brothers. AT: "he is our blood relative" or "he is our very own brother" (see: [[en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet]]).
* **His brothers listened to him** - "Judah's brothers listened to him" or "Judah's brothers agreed with him"
* **Midianite...Ishmaelites** - Both names refer to the same group of traders that Joseph's brothers meet.
* **for twenty pieces of silver** - "for the price of twenty pieces of silver"
* **carried Joseph into ** - "brought Joseph to"
