Exodus 18:8

¹ tn The expression “all my plagues” points to the rest of the plagues and anticipates the proper outcome. Another view is to take the expression to mean the full brunt of the attack on the Egyptian people.

² tn Heb “to your heart.” The expression is unusual, but it may be an allusion to the hard heartedness of Pharaoh – his stubbornness and blindness (B. Jacob, Exodus, 274).

³ tn A rare word, “weariness” of the hardships.

⁴ tn Heb “found them.”

⁵ tn Here “how” has been supplied.
