| NET Notes |
1 tn The infinitive absolute before the verb emphasizes the clarity of their perception. 2 tn Heb “And we said, ‘Let there be.’” The direct discourse in the Hebrew text has been rendered as indirect discourse in the translation for stylistic reasons. 3 tn The pronoun “us” here is inclusive – it refers to the Philistine contingent on the one hand and Isaac on the other. 4 tn The pronoun “us” here is exclusive – it refers to just the Philistine contingent (the following “you” refers to Isaac). 5 tn The translation assumes that the cohortative expresses their request. Another option is to understand the cohortative as indicating resolve: “We want to make.’” |
