Exodus 17:4

Context

17:4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What will I do with 1  this people? – a little more 2  and they will stone me!” 3 

1 tn The preposition lamed (ל) is here specification, meaning “with respect to” (see R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 49, §273).

2 tn Or “they are almost ready to stone me.”

3 tn The perfect tense with the vav (ו) consecutive almost develops an independent force; this is true in sentences where it follows an expression of time, as here (see GKC 334 §112.x).
