NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “The voice of my beloved!” The exclamation קוֹל (qol, “Listen!”) is an introductory exclamatory particle used to emphasize excitement and the element of surprise. 2 tn The phrase “is approaching” does not appear in Hebrew but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity. 3 tn The exclamation הִנֵּה־זֶה (hinneh-zeh, “Look!”) is used of excited speech when someone is seen approaching (Isa 21:9). |
