NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn The form is a Piel perfect with vav (ו) consecutive; it carries the same nuance as the preceding imperfect in the conditional clause.

²tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive now appears in the apodosis of the conditional sentence – “if you do this…then you will be able.”

³tn Heb “to stand.” B. Jacob (Exodus, 501) suggests that there might be a humorous side to this: “you could even do this standing up.”

⁴tn Literally “this people.”

⁵tn The verb is the simple imperfect, “will go,” but given the sense of the passage a potential nuance seems in order.

⁶tn Heb “his place.”

⁷tn Heb “in peace.”
