NET © Notes |
1 tn The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) focuses on her immediate situation: “Here you are pregnant.” 2 tn The active participle refers here to something that is about to happen. 3 sn The name Ishmael consists of the imperfect or jussive form of the Hebrew verb with the theophoric element added as the subject. It means “God hears” or “may God hear.” 4 tn Heb “affliction,” which must refer here to Hagar’s painful groans of anguish. sn This clause gives the explanation of the name Ishmael, using a wordplay. Ishmael’s name will be a reminder that “God hears” Hagar’s painful cries. |
