Exodus 10:6

Context
10:6 They will fill your houses, the houses of your servants, and all the houses of Egypt, such as 1  neither 2  your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen since they have been 3  in the land until this day!’” Then Moses 4  turned and went out from Pharaoh.

Exodus 34:10

Context

34:10 He said, “See, I am going to make 5  a covenant before all your people. I will do wonders such as have not been done 6  in all the earth, nor in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you. 7 

1 tn The relative pronoun אֲשֶׁר (’asher) is occasionally used as a comparative conjunction (see GKC 499 §161.b).

2 tn Heb “which your fathers have not seen, nor your fathers’ fathers.”

3 tn The Hebrew construction מִיּוֹם הֱיוֹתָם (miyyom heyotam, “from the day of their being”). The statement essentially says that no one, even the elderly, could remember seeing a plague of locusts like this. In addition, see B. Childs, “A Study of the Formula, ‘Until This Day,’” JBL 82 (1963).

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Here again is a use of the futur instans participle; the deictic particle plus the pronoun precedes the participle, showing what is about to happen.

6 tn The verb here is בָּרָא (bara’, “to create”). The choice of this verb is to stress that these wonders would be supernaturally performed, for the verb is used only with God as the subject.

7 sn The idea is that God will be doing awesome things in dealing with them, i.e., to fulfill his program.
