This is an English translation of Genesis 41:1-44:17, the Torah reading for Parashat Miqets, transtropilized. (Transtropilation is the term coined by Len Fellman to describe the process of translating from cantillated Hebrew, as closely as possible, “word for word and trōp for trōp”, with the main purpose being to aid a person with minimal Hebrew training in following the Hebrew leyning word for word.) This translation is based on Everett Fox’s The Five Books of Moses (Schocken 1997) with modifications based on the following translations: Aryeh Kaplan’s The Living Torah, the Stone Edition Tanach, the JPS 1985 Tanakh, the New KJV, and The Jerusalem Bible (1966).

the Masoretic Text

The Masoretic Text is the authoritative Hebrew and Aramaic text of the Tanakh for Karaite and Rabbinic Judaism. It was primarily copied, edited and distributed by a group of Jews known as the Masoretes between the 7th and 10th centuries CE. The Masoretic Text defines the Jewish canon and its precise letter-text, with its vocalization and accentuation known as the Masorah.
