Exodus 14:14

14:14 The Lord ¹  will fight for you, and you can be still.” ² 

Exodus 16:36

16:36 (Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.) ³ 

¹ tn The word order places emphasis on “the Lord” (Heb “Yahweh”).

² tn The imperfect tense needs to be interpreted in contrast to all that Yahweh will be doing. It may be given a potential imperfect nuance (as here), or it may be obligatory to follow the command to stand firm: “you must be still.”

³ tn The words “omer” and “ephah” are transliterated Hebrew words. The omer is mentioned only in this passage. (It is different from a “homer” [cf. Ezek 45:11-14].) An ephah was a dry measure whose capacity is uncertain: “Quotations given for the ephah vary from ca. 45 to 20 liters” (C. Houtman, Exodus, 2:340-41).
