NET Notes

¹tn The interrogative clause is followed by ki, similar to Exod 5:2, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey him?”

²tn The verb פָּגַע (paga’) means “to encounter; to meet,” but also “to meet with request; to intercede; to interpose.” The latter meaning is a derived meaning by usage.

³tn The verse is not present in the LXX. It may be that it was considered too blasphemous and therefore omitted.
