NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “and Moses was willing” to stay with Reuel. The Talmud understood this to mean that he swore, and so when it came time to leave he had to have a word from God and permission from his father-in-law (Exod 4:18-19). 2 tn The words “in marriage” are implied, and have been supplied in the translation for clarity. |
