Exodus 34:8-9

34:8 Moses quickly bowed ¹  to the ground and worshiped 34:9 and said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord ²  go among us, for we ³  are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

[34:8]  ¹ tn The first two verbs form a hendiadys: “he hurried…he bowed,” meaning “he quickly bowed down.”

[34:9]  ² tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” two times here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[34:9]  ³ tn Heb “it is.” Hebrew uses the third person masculine singular pronoun here in agreement with the noun “people.”
