[10:14]  ¹ tn Heb “border.”

[10:14]  ² tn This is an interpretive translation. The clause simply has כָּבֵד מְאֹד (kaved mÿ’od), the stative verb with the adverb – “it was very heavy.” The description prepares for the following statement about the uniqueness of this locust infestation.

[10:14]  ³ tn Heb “after them.”

[10:19]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “sea wind,” i.e., a wind off the Mediterranean.

[10:19]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew name here is יַם־סוּף (Yam Suf), sometimes rendered “Reed Sea” or “Sea of Reeds.” The word סוּף is a collective noun that may have derived from an Egyptian name for papyrus reeds. Many English versions have used “Red Sea,” which translates the name that ancient Greeks used: ejruqrav qalavssa (eruqra qalassa).

[11:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[11:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh and in the eyes of the people.” In the translation the word “Egyptian” has been supplied to clarify that the Egyptians and not the Israelites are meant here.

[19:16]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and it was on.”

[19:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “heavy” (כָּבֵד, kaved).

[19:16]  ¹² tn Literally “strong” (חָזָק, khazaq).

[19:16]  ¹³ tn The word here is שֹׁפָר (shofar), the normal word for “horn.” This word is used especially to announce something important in a public event (see 1 Kgs 1:34; 2 Sam 6:15). The previous word used in the context (v. 16) was יֹבֵל (yovel, “ram’s horn”).
