tc For the MT reading וַיֵּלֶךְ (vayyelekh, “he went”), the LXX and Qumran have וַיְכַל (vaykhal, “he finished”): “So Moses finished speaking,” etc. The difficult reading of the MT favors its authenticity.

tn In the MT this refers to the words that follow (cf. NIV, NCV).

tn The words “was heard” are supplied in the translation to avoid the impression that the voice was seen.

tn Heb “Hoshea” (so KJV, ASV), another name for the same individual (cf. Num 13:8, 16).
