2 tn The expression וְרַב מִהְיֹת (vÿrav mihyot, “[the mighty thunder and hail] is much from being”) means essentially “more than enough.” This indicates that the storm was too much, or, as one might say, “It is enough.”
3 tn The last clause uses a verbal hendiadys: “you will not add to stand,” meaning “you will no longer stay.”
4 tn Heb “if he does not lie in wait” (NASB similar).
5 tn Heb “and God brought into his hand.” The death is unintended, its circumstances outside human control.
6 tn The idea of the “snare” is to lure them to judgment; God is apparently warning about contact with the Canaanites, either in worship or in business. They were very syncretistic, and so it would be dangerous to settle among them.
