[13:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Why do you ask for my name, for it is incomprehensible?” The Hebrew adjective פִּלְאִי (pile’iy, “wonderful, incomprehensible”) refers to what is in a category of its own and is beyond full human understanding. Note the use of this word in Ps 139:6, where God’s knowledge is described as incomprehensible and unattainable.

[18:6]  ² tn Heb “in peace.”

[18:6]  ³ tn Heb “In front of the LORD is your way in which you are going.”
