⁴tn Heb “for the sake of my name” (so NAB, NASB); NLT “for my own sake.”

⁷tn Heb “who caused to go at the right hand of Moses the arm of his splendor.”

⁸tn Heb “making for himself a lasting name.”

⁹tn Heb “for the sake of my name.”

¹¹tn Heb “to whom I made myself known before their eyes to bring them out from the land of Egypt.” The translation understands the infinitive construct (“to bring them out”) as indicating manner.
