Exegesis
The subject Yosef {יוֹסֵף | yō-sēf} is followed by the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} and the appositional phrase Yaakov aviv {יַעֲקֹב אָבִיו | ya-ʿă-qōḇ ʾā-ḇîw} ‘Jacob his father,’ specifying Jacob’s identity.
The next Hiphil wayyiqtol vayyaamidehu {וַיַּעֲמִדֵהוּ | way-ya-ʿămî-ḏē-hû} ‘and he caused him to stand’ shifts focus to Jacob’s formal placement before the king, expressed by the locative preposition lifnei {לִפְנֵי | lip̄-nê} ‘before’ and the title Paroh {פַרְעֹה | par-ʿōh}.
