NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Am I God, killing and restoring life, that this one sends to me to cure a man from his skin disease?” In the Hebrew text this is one lengthy rhetorical question, which has been divided up in the translation for stylistic reasons.

²tn Heb “Indeed, know and see that he is seeking an occasion with respect to me.”
