| NET Notes |
1 tn The quotation is introduced with the common word לֵאמֹר (le’mor, “saying”) and no mention of who said the question. 2 sn The idioms for time here are found also in 3:10 and 5:7-8. This question no doubt represents many accusations shouted at Israelites during the period when it was becoming obvious that, despite all their efforts, they were unable to meet their quotas as before. |
