NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “a nation, one.” 2 tn Heb “whose God,” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons. 3 tn Heb “redeem” or “deliver.” 4 tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].” 5 tn Heb “to drive out.” 6 tn Heb “from Egypt, nations.” The parallel text in 2 Sam 7:23 reads “from Egypt, nations and its gods.” |
