NETBible

The Lord said to him, “Ah, but 1  I will be with you! You will strike down the whole Midianite army.” 2 

NET Notes

1 tn Or “certainly.”

2 tn Heb “You will strike down Midian as one man.” The idiom “as one man” emphasizes the collective unity of a group (see Judg 20:8, 11). Here it may carry the force, “as if they were just one man.”
