| NET © Notes |
1 tn The words “bring out” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. 2 tn Following the Hiphil imperative, “bring out,” the three perfect verb forms with vav (ו) consecutive carry an imperatival nuance. For a discussion of the Hebrew construction here and the difficulty of translating it into English, see S. R. Driver, A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew, 124-25. 3 tn Heb “and let them swarm in the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” |
