NET Notes: Exo 9:19

¹ tn The object “instructions” is implied in the context.

² tn הָעֵז (ha’ez) is the Hiphil imperative from עוּז (’uz, “to bring into safety” or “to secure”). Although there is no vav (ו) linking the two imperatives, the second could be subordinated by virtue of the meanings. “Send to bring to safety.”

³ tn Heb “man, human.”

⁴ tn Heb “[who] may be found.” The verb can be the imperfect of possibility.
