[10:19]  ² 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).

[19:16]  ³ tn Heb “and it was on.”

[19:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “heavy” (כָּבֵד, kaved).

[19:16]  ⁵ tn Literally “strong” (חָזָק, khazaq).

[19:16]  ⁶ 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”).
