1 tn See note on Exod 6:12.
2 tn The repetition expresses an exceptional or super-fine quality (see GKC 396 §123.e).
3 tn “Three times” is an adverbial accusative.
4 tn Heb “all your males.”
5 tn Here the divine name reads in Hebrew הָאָדֹן יְהוָה (ha’adon yÿhvah), which if rendered according to the traditional scheme of “Lord” for “Yahweh” would result in “Lord Lord.” A number of English versions therefore render this phrase “Lord God,” and that convention has been followed here.
sn The title “Lord” is included here before the divine name (translated “God” here; see Exod 23:17), perhaps to form a contrast with Baal (which means “lord” as well) and to show the sovereignty of Yahweh. But the distinct designation “the God of Israel” is certainly the point of the renewed covenant relationship.
6 tn Heb uses a cognate accusative construction, “he arranged the arrangement.”
