NET Notes |
1 tc The Hebrew text reads, “I will make heavy your yoke,” but many medieval Hebrew 2 tn Heb “but I will add to your yoke.” 3 tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I [will punish you] with scorpions.” “Scorpions” might allude to some type of torture, but more likely it refers to a type of whip that inflicts an especially biting, painful wound. |
