NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Heb “the sound of the answering of might,” meaning it is not the sound of shouting in victory (U. Cassuto, Exodus, 418). 3 tn Heb “the sound of the answering of weakness,” meaning the cry of the defeated (U. Cassuto, Exodus, 415). 4 tn Heb “answering in song” (a play on the twofold meaning of the word). 5 sn See A. Newman, “Compositional Analysis and Functional Ambiguity Equivalence: Translating Exodus 32, 17-18,” Babel 21 (1975): 29-35. |
