NET Notes

¹tn Heb “What is this?” The enclitic pronoun “this” adds emphasis to the question, which is comparable to the English rhetorical question, “How in the world?”

²tn Heb “you hastened to find.” In translation the infinitive becomes the main verb and the first verb becomes adverbial.

³tn Heb “caused to meet before me.”

⁴tn Heb “and he said, ‘Because the Lord your God….’” The order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.
