| NET © Notes |
1 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail” (cf. NIV “you must certainly put him to death”). 2 tn Heb “to put him to death,” but this is misleading in English for such an action would leave nothing for the others to do. |
