I confess, I almost always have to look them up. Or go from context.
So which one is the source of Joseph's name? Gen 30.23-24 from the NRSV:
23 She conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach”; 24 and she named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add to me another son!”
Both! I don't know if this is a combination of 2 separate traditions? or if they were just covering all their bases. Or maybe the 2 verbs were originally the same word? Hard to know.
