Deuteronomy 7:19

7:19 the great judgments ¹  you saw, the signs and wonders, the strength and power ²  by which he ³  brought you out – thus the Lord your God will do to all the people you fear.

Deuteronomy 29:3

29:3 Your eyes have seen the great judgments, ⁴  those signs and mighty wonders.

Exodus 9:20-21

9:20 Those ⁵  of Pharaoh’s servants who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring their ⁶  servants and livestock into the houses, 9:21 but those ⁷  who did not take ⁸  the word of the Lord seriously left their servants and their cattle ⁹  in the field.

Exodus 10:7

10:7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long ¹⁰  will this man be a menace ¹¹  to us? Release the people so that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not know ¹²  that Egypt is destroyed?”

¹ tn Heb “testings” (so NAB), a reference to the plagues. See note at 4:34.

² tn Heb “the strong hand and outstretched arm.” See 4:34.

³ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

⁴ tn Heb “testings.” This is a reference to the plagues; see note at 4:34.

⁵ tn The text has “the one fearing.” The singular expression here and throughout vv. 20-21 refers to all who fit the description.

⁶ tn Heb “his” (singular).

⁷ tn The Hebrew text again has the singular.

⁸ tn Heb “put to his heart.”

⁹ tn Heb “his servants and his cattle.”

¹⁰ sn The question of Pharaoh’s servants echoes the question of Moses – “How long?” Now the servants of Pharaoh are demanding what Moses demanded – “Release the people.” They know that the land is destroyed, and they speak of it as Moses’ doing. That way they avoid acknowledging Yahweh or blaming Pharaoh.

¹¹ tn Heb “snare” (מוֹקֵשׁ, moqesh), a word used for a trap for catching birds. Here it is a figure for the cause of Egypt’s destruction.

¹² tn With the adverb טֶרֶם (terem), the imperfect tense receives a present sense: “Do you not know?” (See GKC 481 §152.r).
