NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “and now my father placed upon you a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke.” 2 tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I [will punish you] with scorpions.” “Scorpions” might allude to some type of torture, but more likely it refers to a type of whip that inflicts an especially biting, painful wound. |
