NET © Notes |
1 tn הִנְנִי (hinni) before the participle gives it the force of a futur instans participle, meaning “I am about to harden” or “I am going to harden” their heart. 2 tn The form again is the imperfect tense with vav (ו) to express the purpose or the result of the hardening. The repetition of the verb translated “come” is interesting: Moses is to divide the sea in order that the people may cross, but God will harden the Egyptians’ hearts in order that they may follow. 3 tn For the comments on this verb see the discussion in v. 4. God would get glory by defeating Egypt. 4 tn Or “I will get glory over.” |
