| NET Notes |
1 tn The name “Almighty” is here a casus pendens, isolating the name at the front of the sentence and resuming it with a pronoun. 2 tn The MT places the major disjunctive accent (the atnach) under “power,” indicating that “and justice” as a disjunctive clause starting the second half of the verse (with ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT). Ignoring the Masoretic accent, NRSV has “he is great in power and justice.” |
