NET Notes

¹tn Heb “let your eyes be upon” (KJV, NASB similar).

²tn Heb “they.” The verb is masculine plural, indicating that the male workers are the subject here.

³tn Heb “and go after them.” The pronominal suffix (“them”) is feminine plural, indicating that the female workers are referred to here.

⁴tn Male servants are in view here, as the masculine plural form of the noun indicates (cf. KJV, NAB, NRSV “the young men”).

⁵tn Heb “Have I not commanded the servants not to touch [i.e., “harm”] you?” The idiomatic, negated rhetorical question is equivalent to an affirmation (see v. 8). The perfect is either instantaneous, indicating completion of the action concurrent with the statement (see F. W. Bush, Ruth, Esther [WBC], 107, 121-22, who translates, “I am herewith ordering”) or emphatic/rhetorical, indicating the action is as good as done.

⁶tn The juxtaposition of two perfects, each with vav consecutive, here indicates a conditional sentence (see GKC 337 §112.kk).

⁷tn Heb “vessels (so KJV, NAB, NRSV), receptacles”; NCV “water jugs.”

⁸tn Heb “drink [some] of that which” (KJV similar); in the context “water” is implied.

⁹tn The imperfect here either indicates characteristic or typical activity, or anterior future, referring to a future action (drawing water) which logically precedes another future action (drinking).
