- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes : Joseph filius tuus vivit : et ipse dominatur in omni terra Ægypti. Quo audito Jacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες ὅτι Ὁ υἱός σου Ἰωσὴφ ζῇ, καὶ οὗτος ἄρχει πάσης τῆς γῆς Αἰγύπτου. καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ διάνοια Ἰακώβ, οὐ γὰρ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτοῖς.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיַּגִּ֨דוּ ל֜וֹ לֵאמֹ֗ר ע֚וֹד יוֹסֵ֣ף חַ֔י וְכִֽי ה֥וּא מֹשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיָּ֣פָג לִבּ֔וֹ כִּ֥י לֹא הֶאֱמִ֖ין לָהֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
He awaked, &c. His heart was overpowered between hope and distrust. He seemed to himself to be dreaming. Septuagint, "in an ecstacy." Such a sudden transition has oftentimes caused death. (Haydock)
