NET Notes

1 tn Heb “and it will be if.”

2 tn Heb “listen to the voice of,” meaning listen so as to respond appropriately.

3 tn The nuance of this perfect tense with a vav (ו) consecutive will be equal to the imperfect of possibility – “they may believe.”

4 tn Heb “believe the voice of the latter sign,” so as to understand and accept the meaning of the event.
