¹ tn Heb “Lord Lord.” The phrase אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה (’adonay yÿhvih) is customarily rendered by Jewish tradition as “Lord God.” Cf. NIV, TEV, NLT “Sovereign Lord.”

² tn Heb “your servant.” The pronoun is used in the translation to clarify that Moses is speaking of himself, since in contemporary English one does not usually refer to oneself in third person.

³ tn Heb “your strong hand” (so NIV), a symbol of God’s activity.

⁴ tn Heb “and his words you heard from the midst of the fire.”

⁵ tn Heb “an image, any likeness.”

⁶ tn Heb “under the earth” (so ASV, NASB, NRSV); NCV “below the land.”
