NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “make it happen before me today.” Although a number of English translations understand this as a request for success in the task (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV) it is more likely that the servant is requesting an omen or sign from God (v. 14). 2 tn Heb “act in loyal love with” or “show kindness to.” |
