NET Notes

¹tn Grk “that his”; the discourse switches from indirect to direct with the following verbs. For consistency the entire quotation is treated as second person direct discourse in the translation.

²tn Or “will be strangers,” that is, one who lives as a noncitizen of a foreign country.

³sn A quotation from Gen 15:13. Exod 12:40 specifies the sojourn as 430 years.
