Kaisipang Hudyo sa Genesis 42:26: Guide for the Perplexed

וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ אֶת־שִׁבְרָ֖ם עַל־חֲמֹרֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֵּלְכ֖וּ מִשָּֽׁם׃

At ipinasan nila sa kanilang mga asno ang butil na kanilang binili, at umalis sila mula roon.

Guide for the Perplexed

In the same manner does the root nasa (to lift up) denote both elevation in space and elevation in rank and dignity. In the former sense it occurs in “And they lifted up (va-yisseü) their corn upon their asses” (Gen. 42:26) and there are many instances like this in which this verb has the meaning “to carry,” “to move” from place to place: for this implies elevation in space. In the second sense we have “And his kingdom shall be exalted” (ve-tinnase) (Num. 24:7); “And he bare them, and carried them” (va-yenasseëm) (Isa. 63:9); “Wherefore do ye exalt yourselves” (titnasseü) (Num. 16:3).
