NETBible

He said¹ to his daughters, “So where is he?² Why in the world³ did you leave the man? Call him, so that he may eat⁴ a meal⁵ with us.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “And he said.”

²tn The conjunction vav (ו) joins Reuel’s question to what the daughters said as logically following with the idea, “If he has done all that you say, why is he not here for me to meet?” (see GKC 485 §154.b).

³tn This uses the demonstrative pronoun as an enclitic, for emphasis (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 24, §118). The question reads more literally, “Why [is] this [that] you left him?”

⁴tn The imperfect tense coming after the imperative indicates purpose.

⁵tn Heb “bread,” i.e., “food.”
