Exodus 9:28

Context
9:28 Pray to the Lord, for the mighty 1  thunderings and hail are too much! 2  I will release you and you will stay no longer.” 3 

1 sn The text has Heb “the voices of God.” The divine epithet can be used to express the superlative (cf. Jonah 3:3).

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.”
