New International Version (© 2011) When God went out against Egypt, he established it as a statute for Joseph. I heard an unknown voice say:King James Bible This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.American Standard Version He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not.Young's Literal Translation A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear.Psalm 81:5 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleI heard a language I understood not - This passage is difficult. Who heard? And what was heard? All the Versions, except the Chaldee, read the pronoun in the third person, instead of the first. "He heard a language that he understood not." And to the Versions Kennicott reforms the text, שפת לא ידעה ישמע sephath lo yadah yisma; "a language which he did not understand he heard." But what was that language? Some say the Egyptian; others, who take Joseph to signify the children of Israel in general, say it was the declaration of God by Moses, that Jehovah was the true God, that he would deliver their shoulder from their burdens, and their hands from the pots - the moulds and furnaces in which they formed and baked their brick.
