NET Notes

¹tn Heb “And Moses said.” The implication is that Moses said this to himself.

²tn The construction uses the cohortative אָסֻרָה־נָּא (’asura-nna’) followed by an imperfect with vav (וְאֶרְאֶה, vÿ’er’eh) to express the purpose or result (logical sequence): “I will turn aside in order that I may see.”

³tn Heb “great.” The word means something extraordinary here. In using this term Moses revealed his reaction to the strange sight and his anticipation that something special was about to happen. So he turned away from the flock to investigate.

⁴tn The verb is an imperfect. Here it has the progressive nuance – the bush is not burning up.
