407. #gersen#: ‘Gessen,’ Vulgate; ‘iessen,’ C., the form in GE was
probably influenced by ‘Gerson,’ Gen. xlvi. 11.
408. #sundri# appears to mean, apart from the Egyptians, and to be
derived from ‘Hec (i.e. pastores sumus) dicetis vt habebitis seorsum ab
egyptiis in optima terra iessen,’ C.; comp. 210/468; Gen. xlvi. 33, 34.
413. #in herte fagen#: so, ‘in herte wooc,’ GE 1874; ‘in herte mild,’
id. 2635.
414. For #him# read hem, Joseph’s relatives; for #migte# in the next
line migten. ‘Gauisusque est pharao et dixit ad ioseph. De fratribus
tuis. Tollite plaustra de egypto ad subuectionem coniugum,’ C.
415. Because of Pharaoh’s love for Joseph they were enabled to prosper.
‘Omnia vestra adducite vobiscum · dabo vobis omnia bona egypti,’ C.

GE in this sense: comp. ‘Amalech fleg and israel | Hadde hegere hond and
timede wel,’ GE 3391; ‘Bi ðan sal sarra selðe timen,’ id. 1023; ‘ðis
folc, sprungen of israel, | Is vnder god timed wel,’ id. 4023.
