1 tc For “these” the LXX has “of the Lord” (κυρίου, kuriou), perhaps through the influence of the final phrase of v. 24 (“the people of the Lord”). Somewhat less likely is the view that the MT reading is due to a distorted dittography of the first word of v. 24. The Vulgate lacks the word.
2 tn Heb “like Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their heart.”
3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “and they sent them away and they went.”
