¹ tn Heb “and why….” The conjunction seems to be recording another thing that the people said in their complaint against Moses.

² tn The clause uses the infinitive construct with the lamed (ל) preposition. The clause would be a result clause in this sentence: “Why have you brought us here…with the result that we will all die?”
