Exodus 8:23

8:23 I will put a division ¹  between my people and your people. This sign will take place ²  tomorrow.”’”

[8:23]  ¹ tn The word in the text is פְדֻת (pÿdut, “redemption”). This would give the sense of making a distinction by redeeming Israel. The editors wish to read פְלֻת (pÿlut) instead – “a separation, distinction” to match the verb in the preceding verse. For another view, see G. I. Davies, “The Hebrew Text of Exodus VIII 19 [English 23]: An Emendation,” VT 24 (1974): 489-92.

[8:23]  ² tn Heb “this sign will be tomorrow.”
